python - How to select two or more elements from the same node with Xpath? -

i select 2 elements same node. here code:

<div >   <span >first element select:</span>   <span ></span>   <strong >second element select</strong> </div>

i have tried this:

$x('//div/span/text()')

and array this:

["first element", " "]

is there anyway get:

["first element", "second element"]

and perhaps put python dictionary? , have:

dict = {'first element' : 'second element'}

many helping

you can use following xpath :

//*[@id="details"]//div/*/text()

or if want text nodes span , strong :

//*[@id="details"]//div/*[self::span|self::strong]/text()

to skip empty text nodes, add predicate [normalize-space()] :

//*[@id="details"]//div/*/text()[normalize-space()]
