In selenium how to use xpath to select all imgs that are not in divs with a specific class name

Question

In selenium, I want to use xpath to select all imgs in the whole document that are NOT in divs with a specific class name. I really don't know how to write that, since it seems the ancestor or descendant wouldn't work. Please help.

Answer 1

//div[@id="something" and not(@class="aa")]/img

did you try not operator of xpath . This will find all div tag with a specific id but not the specified class

So if you want img which doesn't have div as ancestor then :

//img[not(ancestor::div)]
