6. Element Collections

6.1 Counting

Given an element collection, you can check how many elements were found by using the size method.

<html>
  <body>
    <div class="title">Title</div>
    <div class="content">Content A</div>
    <div class="content">Content B</div>
  </body>
</html>

There are 3 div elements on the page.

browser.divs.size
#=> 3

With 2 of the div elements having the class “content”.

browser.divs(:class => 'content').size
#=> 2

Depending on your preferences, you can also use the method length instead of size.

browser.divs.length
#=> 3
