I am using Simple HTML Dom to extract information from a remote source. I would like to get all href links that contain a particular piece of text (not all on a page). I have tried
->find('a[href*="/place"]')
and
->find('a[href="/place"*]')
and
->find('a[href="/place*"]')
but this returns empty results.
The href I am trying to get must begin with the text "/place".
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Match elements that have the specified attribute and it starts with a certain value, use [attribute^=value].
->find('a[href^="/place"]')

I do not now this app, however did you try using the asterisk like so ?
>find('a[href="/place*"]')

I'm wanting to create a variable to grab the username from a landing page (assuming it's possible). In my attached examples, I'd like to grab the text "Landing_page_test".
I'm just learning CSS so I'm not able to single out just that text.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated! enter image description here

document.querySelector returns an element, not the text. Add .innerText
Try it out on this page: document.querySelector("a.question-hyperlink").innerText to get the name of the question.
But you probably don't want to do it as custom html tag. You probably want to do it on click. in that case, you have {{Clicked Element}} variable in GTM, of which you can also get .innerText, or get its .parentElement and further navigate DOM from the clicked element as you wish and get whatever you need.
Here's the html of the Location & Date/Time text blocks

Webpage opens one popup, in that popup I have a list of pets. like dog, cat, fish, etc. each element is a link, and defined as below in css. but all of them have same values for all of the attributes, like div class, ng-bind, ng-click, etc. only one difference is text. I am not getting how to select a specific value using this text.
Both of the images are attached for reference. you can check the CSS code as well as the application popup.

Please help me out....
In the below xpath example I'm assuming that this list is uniquely referenced using the #ng-repeat attribute and with that the following reference will become a unique one: //div[#ng-repeat='category in allCategory' and text() = 'Cow/Bull']
Partial matching of the text with xpath, just a little modification to the first answer.
//div[contains(text(),'Cow/Bull') and #ng-repeat="category in allCategory"]
I have the code below and I need to pass an html element (anchor) as shown. I have tried using filters like raw and escape but it always prints out the html element as regular text. I also tried setting a new variable that contains the same string text and passed that to testLink and then applied filters to it, but same result. Any ideas how to tackle this problem?
{% include 'example.html.twig' with {'testLink': 'Hurry, Click me NOW'} %}
You cannot handle your problem in the template that is including the example.html.twig template as autoescaping will step in when the passed value is displayed in the included template. Instead, you will have to use the raw filter in example.html.twig (be careful with that solution though as the template is probably used in other places too which might not be safe).
I have an ASP.NET MVC application and I'm using CKEditor for text entry. I have turned off input validation so the HTML created from CKEditor can be passed into the controller action. I am then showing the entered HTML on a web page.
I only have certain buttons on CKEditor enabled, but obviously someone could send whatever text they want down. I want to be able to show the HTML on the page after the user has entered it. How can I validate the input, but still be able to show the few things that are enabled in the editor?
So basically I want to sanitize everything except for a few key things like bold, italics, lists and links. This needs to be done server side.
How about AntiXSS?
See my full answer here from similar question:
I have found that replacing the angel
brackets with encoded angel brackets
solves most problems
You could create a "whitelist" of sorts for the html tags you'd like to allow. You could start by HTML encoding the whole thing. Then, replace a series of "allowed" sequences, such as:
"<strong>" and "</strong>" back to "<strong>" and "</strong>"
"<em>" and "</em>" back to "<em>" and "</em>"
"<li>" and "</li>" back to ... etc. etc.
For things like the A tag, you could resort to a regular expression (since you'd want the href attribute to be allowed too). You would still want to be careful about XSS; someone else already recommended AntiXSS.
Sample Regexp to replace the A tags:
<a href="([^"]+)">
Then replace as
<a href="$1">
Good luck!
I am currently having troubles figuring out how to handle a filepath to be (dynamicly) passed out to a HyperLink control's NavigateUrl property.
Let's say that I'm trying to refer to a file named jäynä.txt at the root of C:.
Passing "file:///C:/jäynä.txt" result to a link to file:///C:/jäynä.txt, as does HttpUtility.UrlPathEncode("file:///C:/jäynä.txt").
Replacing the ä**s with **%E4, which gives the string "file:///C:/j%E4yn%E4.txt", does give a working link to file:///C:/jäynä.txt, but I have not been able to find a way to make the replacement without defining it myself. With Replace("ä", "%E4"), for example.
Is there a way to automaticly handle the filepath string so that the HyperLink would display it correctly, without manualy listing what characters to replace in the string?
Additional Note:
There may be a way to work around this by spesifying the character encoding in which the page is rendered, because debugging shows that the HyperLink at least saves the string "file:///C:/jäynä.txt" unchanged, but somehow mangles it around the time of rendering.
However, this seems only be the case in rendering of the NavigateUrl because other components as well as HyperLink's Text-property are all quite capable of rendering the character ä unchanged.
The NavigateUrl property of a Hyperlink will encode unicode chars in the url.
Instead you can set the href attribute property of the Hyperlink like this:
hyperlink1.Attribute("href") = "file:///C:/jäynä.txt"
This is due to how the browser starts to interpret the path, typically individuals will avoid using characters such as that in the urls of pages.
In your case, I believe you have struck upon the best case scenario, as I am not aware of any way to change the behavior of HttpUtility and/or the NavigateUrl property. At least not without creating a custom control for it.
Don't use HyperLink control. Instead use HtmlAnchor control. It will solve your problem. I don't know why Microsoft designed like this.
Thank you!
The post using the 'attributes' solved my problem. In my case it was
HyperLink6.Attributes["href"] = "http://høgstedt.danquah.dk/";
The problem of using special danish characters in a url seem to have been troubling a lot of programmers - a search provides several very complicated approaches. This one is SIMPLE and it SIMPLY WORKS.
So once again, thank you
