There's not "an" XPath for an element, as XPath describes the route you take from the root of a document to the element in question. The correct route for your situation depends on your use case. Describing an element as "the first child of the fifth child of the second child of the first child of the eighth child of the second child of HTML" is as much the right path to an element as if you described the way to your house as "Walk past the park then walk past the bus stop then walk past the hardware store then walk past the butchers then turn left then walk past the pizza shop then walk past the library"
