Tag Name and Link Text

List<WebElement> links = driver.findElements(By.tagName("a"));
System.out.println("Links on home page: " + links.size());
List<WebElement> images = driver.findElements(By.tagName("img"));

Run TagNameTest.main()

Links on home page: 87

tagName is used mostly with findElements to count or loop through all links, images or table rows.

<nav>
  <a href="/orders">My Orders</a>
  <a href="/offers">Today's Offers (12)</a>
</nav>

driver.findElement(By.linkText("My Orders")).click();          // exact visible text
driver.findElement(By.partialLinkText("Today's Offers")).click(); // part of the text; the count can change
