HtmlUnit: how to search for text
In a java project, I have to use HtmlUnit to retrieve the contents of a WebPage.
How can I search for an element that has the contents 123. It is part of an html document. The referring element has no id, class or name:
....
<tr>
<td>123</td>
<td>456</td>
</tr>
....
It is not possible to convert the whole document into a text and search afterwards.

You need compose an appropriate xpath expression. In your case it can be:
//*[text()='123']
or more generally
//*[contains(text(),'123')]
To find elements: page.getByXPath("//*[contains(text(),'123')]")
