How to select specified node within Xpath node sets by index with Selenium?

by

This is a FAQ:

//someName[3]

means: all someName elements in the document, that are the third someName child of their parent — there may be many such elements.

What you want is exactly the 3rd someName element:

(//someName)[3]

Explanation: the [] has a higher precedence (priority) than //. Remember always to put expressions of the type //someName in brackets when you need to specify the Nth node of their selected node-list.
