Hi, I want to use xpath to scrape info from a website using pyXML but I
keep getting no results.
For example, in the following, I want to return the text "Element1" I
can't get xpath to return anything at all. What's wrong with this
code?
from xml.dom.ext.reader import HtmlL

Got the answer - there's a bug in xpath. I think the HTML parser
converts all the tags (but not the attributes) to uppercase. Xpath
definitely does not like my first string but, these work fine:
test = Evaluate('//TD', doc_node.documentElement)
test = Evaluate('/HTML/BODY/TABLE/TR/TD', doc_node.
