Could please someone help me to xpath values in a dynamic table.
I have the following HTML code and I need to select the values of the cells, as for example:
if a tr-cell contains the text "Values1" then select the first value (0) in td / third value (1) in td of this cell
I would be very thankful.
<table class="DynamicTable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Details</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>Values1</td>
<td>1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>Values2</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Values6</td>
<td>0</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Example html:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="foo"></td>
<td class="bar"></td>
<td class="buzz"></td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>4</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>6</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Problem
I have row position (//tbody/tr[X]) and header class (//thead//td[#class="XXX"])
I want to find table data cell using row and column
For example <td>5</td> can be located by //tbody/tr[2] and //thead//td[#class="bar"]
Pseudo-xpath:
//tbody/tr[2]/td[position() = //thead//td[#class="bar"]::position()]
I was tweaking with ancestor:: axis but it was dead end.
Any ideas how to write it properly?
Try to use this XPath to select required node:
//tbody/tr[2]/td[position() = count(//thead/tr/td[#class="bar"]/preceding-sibling::*) + 1]
Instead of position we're checking the count of preceding siblings + 1
I have the following document:
<html>
<body>
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>390920000</td>
<td>A</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>390920000</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3924100011</td>
<td>B</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3924100011</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3924100019</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3924100019</td>
<td>C</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
What I would like is to use an xpath to select /html/body/div/table/tr/td[2], but for each empty element select the previous non-empty element instead. So instead of getting the values 'A','','B','','','C' I would like to get 'A','A','B','B','B','C'. Is this possible?
Btw, nevermind that this is an html and not an xml. I am using HtmlAgilityPack so I create ordinary xpath expressions to select html elements.
If XPath 3 is fine, the following should work:
//table/tr ! head((., reverse(preceding-sibling::*))[normalize-space(td[2]/text()) != ""])/td[2]
I want to create a table like:
T1----T2----T3
--------------
B1
A1 B2 C1
B3
I'm using the following code:
<table class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>T1</th>
<th>T2</th>
<th>T3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">A1</td>
<tr>
<td>B1</td>
<tr>
<td>B2</td>
</tr>
<td>C1</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

I have problems with C1. How to solve this?
You need to focus on doing things one row at a time. Deal with everything in the first row. Then start a new row and deal with everything in that.
So the first row contains A1, B1 and C1.
<tr>
<td>A1
<td>B1
<td>C1
The second row contains only B2
<tr>
<td>B2
and so on.
Now, you want the first and last cells of the first row to span multiple rows:
<tr>
<td rowspan=3>A1
<td>B1
<td rowspan=3>C1
Which gives you:
<table class=table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>T1
<th>T2
<th>T3
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan=3>A1
<td>B1
<td rowspan=3>C1
<tr>
<td>B2
<tr>
<td>B3

I want to make table header and table data. But facing problem with width on that two tables different.
Here is the example table :
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Class</td>
<td>Phone</td>
</tr>
</table>
and the data here :
<table>
<tr>
<td>John Reise</td>
<td>Math</td>
<td>123456789</td>
<tr>
<td>Michael Sweirzgez</td>
<td>Information Technology</td>
<td>012345678910</td>
<tr>
So when I try to run the code, it will like this :
Name | Class | Phone
John Reise | Math | 123456789
If I delete the data, width will fit with table header.
I make 2 table, 1 table header and 1 table data cause I want to marquee this data. So table header will keep stay in the top.
Maybe you better use thead and tbody tags?
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>Class</td>
<td>Phone</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>John Reise</td>
<td>Math</td>
<td>123456789</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Michael Sweirzgez</td>
<td>Information Technology</td>
<td>012345678910</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

You can use thead and tbody. Here are the simple examples:

Please, either look at http://jsfiddle.net/mawg/pL9kd/ or stick the code below into your favourite HTML editor ...
Look to the right of OMG! Item 4 contains a *nested* array. (How) can I get that nested array (xyz) to be 2 columns wide, even if its content doesn't need so much space?
<table border="1" cellpsacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="">
<tr><th style="border-width:1" colspan="3">This is an array</th></tr>
<td colspan="2">
<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="3">Array</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>item 1</td>
<td>string ( 3 chars)</td>
<td>abc</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>string ( 25 chars)</td>
<td>item 2 is indexed by zer0</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>this equals seven</td>
<td>integer</td>
<td>7</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 4 is a nested array</td>
<td colspan="2">
<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="3">Array</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>0</td>
<td>string ( 24 chars)</td>
<td>item 4, offest 0's value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>OMG! Item 4 contains a *nested* array F5</td>
<td colspan="2">
<table border="1">
<tr><td colspan="3">Array</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>xyz</td>
<td>string ( 7 chars)</td>
<td>xyz val</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>item 4, offest 2 is True</td>
<td>boolean</td>
<td>True</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>final item</td>
<td colspan="2">NULL</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</table>
Do you mean like this? http://jsfiddle.net/pL9kd/8/
(Width = 100%)
Check this you can use the width, to set to width='66%' which works since you know there are 3 columns and 2/3 is 66%. Also set the containing table to width='100%' since you are going to need all of the possible space.
From what I could find there is nothing like what your asking (or at least my interpretation of it). Could you not simply create a column width equaling two total columns?
So something like
<td width="40">xyz</td>
I could be way off but that's just my guess. Just curious, what is the implementation for this? I am sure you know css lists and other css elements are much more efficient at styling, correct?
