How to write XPath expression with @attribute

Question

How to write XPath expression for @input. I'm trying this expression:

//input[@input='onSearchInput'].

This expression not found.

HTML input tag:

<input type="text" class="input" @input="onSearchInput" placeholder="Word search" style="">

that is not valid xml. should be /> to end element. When I did that, then your xpath works — OldProgrammer, Sep 13 '21 at 14:11

Your markup is not well-formed due to the @ character in @input. Remove the @ character if you want to use XML-based tools such as XPath.

is it possible the others? e.g. cssSelector – Sansli Sep 13 '21 at 14:34
@Sansli: The markup-up itself is bad, so I wouldn't suggest relying on CSS selectors either, even if you did find an implementation with which it happened to work. – kjhughes Sep 13 '21 at 14:54
