A bit more of the outerHTML would have made the solution a bit easier. However as per the HTML you have provided to extract the value 19.5 you need to induce WebDriverWait for the desired element to be visible and you can use either of the following solutions:





  • cssSelector:



    WebElement element = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("table[aria-label='User']")));
    String myText = ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript('return arguments[0].firstChild.textContent;', myElement).toString();



  • xpath:



    WebElement myElement = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//label[contains(.,'Leave Balance')]//following::div[@id='applyleave_leaveBalance']")));
    String myText = ((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript('return arguments[0].firstChild.textContent;', myElement).toString();
