From: Gary on 9 May 2010 04:31 If I have a document containing, say: <html> <body> <table> <tbody> <tr> <td><font ...>foo1</font></td> <td><font ...>bar1</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <font ...>foo2</font> </td> <td> <font ...>bar2</font> </td> </tr> .... How do I get at "bar2"? I tried everything, based on an xpath from Firebug (Firefox plugin), but kept getting NULL.

Given your layout, you're then looking for $list->item(3) Regards Peter -- <hype> WWW: http://plphp.dk / http://plind.dk LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/plind Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fake51 BeWelcome: Fake51 Couchsurfing: Fake51 </hype>

Given your layout, you're then looking for > $list->item(3) I found out what my problem was. Something, somewhere - the plugin, Firefox itself, something - decided to "help me" by inserting TBODY elements into the xpath which just plain did not exist in the original HTML. |
