Languageandisusedtostore,organizeandtransportarbitrarydata.Itstoresdatainakeyvaluepair
whichisverymuchsimilartoHTMLtags.Bothbeingmarkuplanguagesandsincetheyfallunderthe
sameumbrella,XpathcanbeusedtolocateHTMLelements.
ThefundamentalbehindlocatingelementsusingXpathisthetraversingbetweenvariouselementsacross
theentirepageandthusenablingausertofindanelementwiththereferenceofanotherelement.
Q#13)Whatisthedifferencebetween/and//inXpath?
SingleSlash/SingleslashisusedtocreateXpathwithabsolutepathi.e.thexpathwouldbecreated

Originisasequentialcombinationofscheme,hostandportoftheURL.Forexample,foraURLhttp://
http://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/resources/,theoriginisacombinationofhttp,
softwaretestinghelp.com,80correspondingly.
ThustheSeleniumCore(JavaScriptProgram)cannotaccesstheelementsfromanoriginthatisdifferent
fromwhereitwaslaunched.ForExample,ifIhavelaunchedtheJavaScriptProgramfrom
http://www.softwaretestinghelp.com,thenIwouldbeabletoaccessthepageswithinthesamedomain
suchashttp://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/resourcesorhttp://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/istqb
