Locate an Element Which Will Come in Four Different Scenarios

Question

<input type="submit" name="ccBtnBook" value="Book" id="ccBtnBook" 
class="bookbtn2 flR" style="background-color:Transparent;border- 
style:None;">

<input type="submit" name="ccRepItinerary$ctl00$ccLbtnSelect" value="Book" 
id="ccRepItinerary_ctl00_ccLbtnSelect" class="bookbtn2" style="background- 
color:Transparent;border-style:None;">

<input type="button" value=" Book " class="bookbtn2" onclick="iSB('1')">

<input type="button" value=" Book " class="bookbtn2" 
onclick="iSB('4','MCT','DXB','DXB','MCT','True')">

<input type="button" value=" Book " class="bookbtn2" 
onclick="iSB('1','MCT','DXB','','','False')">

<input type="button" value=" Book " class="bookbtn2" onclick="iSB('4')">

I have tried using the class name and xpath, but failed for both. I even tried to use a JavaScript click.

For case two finding the element by its ID works.

You mean the element could be any one of those options? you should also post what you tried and what was the problem with it? — Guy, Nov 15 '18 at 06:40
You didn't add any new information. *I have tried using* doesn't mean anything. Post the code and tell what happened when you tried it. If there is an error message post it as well. — Guy, Nov 15 '18 at 06:47
WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,50); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("input.bookbtn2"))); — Adheen, Nov 15 '18 at 06:50

Use the class, that seems to be common

//*[contains(@class, 'bookbtn2')]

As per the HTML you have shared to locate the element in four different scenarios you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

cssSelector:

driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input.bookbtn2[value='Book'][type='button'][onclick^='iSB']"));

xpath:

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@class='bookbtn2' and @value='Book'][@type='button' and starts-with(@onclick,'iSB')]"));
