How to get element without attributes by XPath

Question

I want to get an td element without attributes.

For example: My code:

<td class="yyy">1234</td>
<td>5678</td>

I want to get: 5678
What the XPath for that?

Thank, Chani

I think this is a duplicate of several other SO questions:

See this:

Which recommends:

//node[not(@*)]

Where node is your nodename.

Well replace it with whatever you want then. – podiluska Sep 03 '12 at 11:54
OK, but the problem was that I didn't know what or how much are the attributes. any way, I got my answer: "*" – Chani Poz Sep 04 '12 at 10:11

how about

.//td[. = '5678']

or

.//td[text() = '5678']

--

if it is important that there are no attributes then,

.//td[text() = '5678' and not(@*)]

--

or, if you want to get the inner text of the first td with no attributes.

.//td[not(@*)][1]/text()
