How can I match on an attribute that contains a certain string?

by

Here’s an example that finds div elements whose className contains atag:

//div[contains(@class, 'atag')]

Here’s an example that finds div elements whose className contains atag and btag:

//div[contains(@class, 'atag') and contains(@class ,'btag')]

However, it will also find partial matches like class="catag bobtag".

If you don’t want partial matches, see bobince’s answer below.
