Title
Body
I am using Selenium's python library to scrape data from a html page in Firefox. I have had to update from Selenium 2.0 to 2.21 because the server has updated Firefox. In v 2.21 calls to find_element_by_class_name("grid-cell-inner grid-col-name") fails with: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: u'Compound class names not permitted' The class name of the element I am trying to access is grid-cell-inner grid-col-name The call to find_element_by_class_name() worked in v 2.2, so the logic is correct, and the data used to be found OK. Something changed in v 2.21. All the Selenium examples give simple examples with class name foo etc, and none with the type of name I need to access. Why did Selenium stop supporting finding classes with names like grid-cell inner grid-col-name , and what it their solution? Can someone please help me to find elements with "compound" class names?
