Has anyone used JavaScript Not jQuery to Populate Text on web Pages

I found an excellent tutorial by Tomasz Poszytek on Advanced custom UI selectors in Power Automate Desktop ((1) Advanced custom UI selectors in Power Automate Desktop. Solving RPA forms challenge! - YouTube) He uses jQuery. Not all webpages use jquery. I tried to take some statements like "div:Contains('First Name')>input" and got lost.

I'm working on trying to change SharePoint Online Site Pages with web parts. For each conversion we do we copy a set of about 100 Site Pages and need to change the list and library the web part points to. The CSS is ugly and jQuery is not active in the pages.

 

Any suggestions.

    Hi @sonisick 

     

    Just to confirm, does your web element is as per the yiu defined in JQuery selector 

     

    for the jquery selector div:Contains('First Name')>input, it means the input tag which are direct child of div tag which contains text First Name 

     

    Could you please confirm that 🙂

    Thanks Nived. Thats what I mean. I'm trying to use Javascript to get to some of the selectors because jQuery is not running.
