Cool!

It doesn't demand, but it is easier. You can also use "div/span[last()-1]" or "/html/body/span/div/input", etc.
Keep in mind, you always need to know the exact HTML (generated by HtmlUnit or by real browser, which may differ), to have relevant XPath expressions.

AT LONG LAST... This works:


Ahmed, I question why the implementation of getByXPath is demanding I use the wildcards for the searches instead of being able to specify the elements.  But, for now, as long as it works, I'm going to run with it.

Thank you all for the input and suggestions.
