Finding Edit link in the driver.PageSource and Click using Selenium Webdriver (C#) - selenium

I am trying to find the text and if the text is found then click the Edit link which is in the td tag.... but when you look at the page source I dont see how to determine any recommendation or suggestions to achieve?
for an example:
in my page html source (see below) in the td i have text called Title1 once I found the text then I want to find a way to click on the Edit link (which is a hyperlink)
here is what i have done so far
//here is my code
IWebDriver driver = new OpenQA.Selenium.IE.InternetExplorerDriver();
string url ="http://site.com";
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
string pagesource = driver.PageSource;
//html page source:

Why wouldn't the following work?
// Assumes "driver" is a valid object implementing IWebDriver
IWebElement table = driver.FindElement(By.ClassName("gv"));
IWebElement element = table.FindElement(By.XPath(".//td[contains(., 'Title1')]/..//a"));
In essence, this says, "Starting at the table with the class name "gv", find the <td> element whose text contains 'Title1', navigate to it's parent (which should be the <tr> element), then find the first <a> descendent element."

xpath method of Selenium does not work for Google chrome

I don't have a lot of experience with Selenium but I am trying to run a code which search for an element in HTML with chromedriver. I keep getting an error as below. The first thing I would like to confirm is that this error cannot be due to the connection with Chromedriver to the web but is because of the way the python script search in the HTML code. Any help would be appreciated.
The error:
('no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[contains(text(),\'Find exited companies announced\')]/../.."}\n (Session info: headless chrome=91.0.4472.101)', None, None)

May be its because the element you are trying to locate is in an iframe or in a shadow dom. And also make sure that the xpath points only one element in the Dom.
If its in an iframe you need switch to that frame and then try to locate the element.
if its in a shadow root, open you need to get the shadow-root first to locate the required element.

I think we should try with css selector written below :-
table.criteriaborder:nth-of-type(2) tr:nth-of-type(5) td
since the xpath that you are using, depends on a text which is basically a text node
if it's python that you are working on, you could try the below code :
print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("table.criteriaborder:nth-of-type(2) tr:nth-of-type(5) td").text)

<td> tag ignores the width that i've setted

I've created this table that's well formatted in chrome but in ie8 the < td> tag ignores the percentages that i've setted, then if i add table-layout:fixed as someone suggested ie8 ignores the proportion and set them to 25-25-25-25 in the field CAP Via etc...
If i remove the doctype it works (i can't remove it because i need it for something else)

Empty rows with datatables / Bootstrap table

I don't understand the behavior of my bootstrap 3.3.7 + datatables 1.10.15 table.
Here is my initial HTML Table :
<table id="types-2" class="table-bordered table-striped table-condensed">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="both" data-field="Type" data-sortable="true">Type</th>
<th class="both" data-field="Name" data-sortable="true">City</th>
<th class="both" data-field="City" data-sortable="true">‰ city</th>
<th class="both" data-field="Department" data-sortable="true">‰ department </th>
<th class="both" data-field="Region" data-sortable="true">‰ region</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Case 1</td>
<td>782 </td>
<td>13.84‰ </td>
<td>18.38‰ </td>
<td>24.25‰ </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Case 2</td>
<td>267 </td>
<td>4.73‰ </td>
<td>5.37‰ </td>
<td>7.87‰ </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Case 3 </td>
<td>191 </td>
<td>3.38‰ </td>
<td>4.27‰ </td>
<td>4.02‰ </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Case 4</td>
<td>144 </td>
<td>0.04‰ </td>
<td>0.29‰ </td>
<td>0.24‰ </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I'm using this script in order to hide pagination and search, to order by colomn 1 desc value, and to be responsive and to display directly all the rows.
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('#types-2').DataTable( {
"bPaginate": false,
"bInfo" : false,
"responsive": true,
"searching": false,
"aaSorting": [[1,'desc']],
responsive: {
details: {
display: jQuery.fn.dataTable.Responsive.display.childRowImmediate,
type: ''
}
}
} );
} );
</script>
What I can't figure is why the script is adding two empty div class rows at the begining and the end of the table :
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6"></div>
<div class="col-sm-6"></div>
</div>
[...]
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-5"></div>

I can't figure where these additional 2 div class rows come from. Do you have any clue and how can I prevent them to appear (except display:none them)
Thanks.

It is added by default value for dom option when using Bootstrap styling.
If you're not using search, pagination and info controls, you can override the default layout with the following option.
dom: 'rt'
See official documentation for more information.

I can see you are just wrapping traditional HTML tables with some bootstrap classes expecting them to be responsive.
It's a good start but you need to rethink how you construct your tables when you use bootstrap.
Bootstrap uses their "Grid System" http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid
The grid system doesn't use tables at all. It uses divs with specific classes on them achieve the layout you are looking for. Until you fully use the bootstrap grid system you will not truly see a responsive design.
Take the time to learn the bootstrap grid system.
A bit of a side note and personal opinion: Looking at your form design (which looks great btw) you might not like the result of a responsive design. All of the form fields will end up stacking on top of each other. This form design really only works horizontally. If it were vertically aligned it might get very confusing. If it were me, I might design the form to fit interfaces as small as a tablet but not mobile.

selenium not finding correct link using xpath

I'm trying to delete click on link generated by a previous test (a delete link) but I'm having great difficulty with xpath
Here is the error I am receiving
Invalid response while accessing the Selenium Server at 'http://localhost:4444/s
elenium-server/driver/': ERROR: Element xpath=(//td[normalize-space() ='Test tit
le 2']/following-sibling::td[3]/descendant::a[.='delete']) not found
here is my test
public function testdeleteStationTestCase()
{
$this->open("/upd8r_new/");
$this->click("css=a > img");
$this->waitForPageToLoad("30000");
$this->type("name=username", "glass2");
$this->type("name=password", "glass2");
$this->click("name=submit");
sleep(1);
$this->click("xpath=(//td[normalize-space() ='Test title 2']/following-sibling::td[3]/a[.='delete'])");
//$this->click("xpath=(//td[normalize-space() ='Test title 2']/following-sibling::td[3]/descendant::a[.='delete'][1])");
sleep(1);
$this->assertTrue($this->isTextPresent("Station deleted!"),"Station Deleted");
}
as you can see my commented out line i have been trying all sorts of combinations to get the test to run-
here is the html page I am testing against- i have added a line of text where I am trying to click

Your problem is in sleep(1);
In this place instead of sleep(1); you should use this:
$this->waitForCondition("selenium.isElementPresent(\'css=table:contains(\'FACEBOOK PIC STATIONS\') a:contains(\'delete\')\')", "20000");
And by the way, while you use selenium RC you can reach your delete link with this css (with webdriver it will not work as :contains is not a part of css spec):
$this->click("css=table:contains('FACEBOOK PIC STATIONS') a:contains('delete')");
Also replace all sleep(1); with appropriate waitForCondition commands
