I want to ask about "Wait for web page content" action if I select "containe text" this text must be visible in the web site as text or it can also be inside the site html ? for example like <p class="test"> tag

If I select containe element for xome reason the catpure function does not work and can not capture the element is there a way to use element css class like "p.intro" ?

Thanks

Hi @William5234

Power automate desktop allows to write css selector like p.intro in the selector of UI Element, indicate a ui element and change its selector like p.intro

like below:

Also regarding your question on "Wait for web page content" action if I select "containe text"

the selector which you had shown <p class="test"> here test is attribute value of p tag for attribute class,so it does not work for such case.

Is there a way to use OR condition in UI selector ? so it can evaluate to true when any selector exists ?

Hi @William5234

May be this approach would work

You can create multiple selector and it executes sequentially when one above does not work !

If it's not a completely different element you're looking at, but is generally similar, with maybe a few parameters being different, you can also use regex in the selector and pass the OR functionality into the regex. That also works.
