alt='The image alt text']
xpath=//table[@id='table1']//tr[4]/td[2]
xpath=//a[contains(@href,'#id1')]
xpath=//a[contains(@href,'#id1')]/@class
xpath=(//table[@class='stylee'])//th[text()='theHeaderText']/../td
xpath=//input[@name='name2' and @value='yes']
xpath=//*[text()="right"]

link=textPattern: Select the link (anchor) element which contains text matching the specified pattern.

link=The link text

css=cssSelectorSyntax: Select the element using css selectors. Please refer to CSS2 selectors, CSS3 selectors for more information. You can also check the TestCssLocators test in the selenium test suite for an example of usage, which is included in the downloaded selenium core package.

css=a[href="#id3"]
css=span#firstChild + span

Currently the css selector locator supports all css1, css2 and css3 selectors except namespace in css3, some pseudo classes(:nth-of-type, :nth-last-of-type, :first-of-type, :last-of-type, :only-of-type, :visited, :hover, :active, :focus, :indeterminate) and pseudo elements(::first-line, ::first-letter, ::selection, ::before, ::after).

Without an explicit locator prefix, Selenium uses the following default strategies:

dom, for locators starting with "document."
xpath, for locators starting with "//"
identifier, otherwise

Element Filters

Element filters can be used with a locator to refine a list of candidate elements. They are currently used only in the 'name' element-locator.
Filters look much like locators, ie.
filterType=argument
Supported element-filters are:
value=valuePattern
Matches elements based on their values. This is particularly useful for refining a list of similarly-named toggle-buttons.
index=index
Selects a single element based on its position in the list (offset from zero).

String-match Patterns

Various Pattern syntaxes are available for matching string values:

glob:pattern: Match a string against a "glob" (aka "wildmat") pattern. "Glob" is a kind of limited regular-expression syntax typically used in command-line shells. In a glob pattern, "*" represents any sequence of characters, and "?" represents any single character. Glob patterns match against the entire string.
regexp:regexp: Match a string using a regular-expression. The full power of JavaScript regular-expressions is available.
regexpi:regexpi: Match a string using a case-insensitive regular-expression.
exact:string: Match a string exactly, verbatim, without any of that fancy wildcard stuff.

If no pattern prefix is specified, Selenium assumes that it's a "glob" pattern.

For commands that return multiple values (such as verifySelectOptions), the string being matched is a comma-separated list of the return values, where both commas and backslashes in the values are backslash-escaped. When providing a pattern, the optional matching syntax (i.e. glob, regexp, etc.) is specified once, as usual, at the beginning of the pattern.
