Hi Jevon,
The following code worked for me by using start-with and contains in the
XPath. Thought I will post it here as it might be useful for someone.
Thank you!
Lakshmi
assertElementPresentByXPath("//a[starts-with(@href, '
http://www.company.com/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?') and contains
(@href, 'navid=FOIA')]");
clickElementByXPath("//a[starts-with(@href, '
http://www.company.com/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?') and contains
(@href, 'navid=FOIA')]");
