This script opens a simple HTML page in a headless browser. It uses XPath axes to find:
- The parent
section of a div with id 'main'. - All
li children of a ul with class 'menu'. - The
p element following an h2 with class 'title'. - The
input element following a label with text 'Username'.
It prints the results to show the correct elements were found.
