 <p>I think by XPath should work to get all items in a List object:</p> <pre><code>List&lt;WebElement&gt; parameters = driver.findElements( By.xpath(".//[local-name()='OBJECT']/[local-name()='PARAM']") ); </code></pre> <p>=== UPDATE ===</p> <blockquote> <p>Try using a CSS locator instead... it will probably be more reliable on IE8... or better yet: use a JavascriptExecutor and get the element using pure Javascript.</p> </blockquote>
