This question might be a little specific but the test app im writing uses XPath to find the data i need in HTML. This piece of HTML(found here) is what im trying to parse.
My goal is to find the name of the person by using the number that corresponds to him to find him. This requires me to find a node by the specific text contained in "td class="textSm" align="right">1. </td>" and then find the sibling of that node "<td align="left" nowrap>" then find the child of that sibling "P Sandoval" to get the desired result. I was wondering what kind of query I could use to find this. Any help is very much appreciated.
Code:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td class="textSm" align="right">1. </td> <!-- Location of the number is here --!>
<td align="left" nowrap>
<a href="/stats/individual_stats_player.jsp?c_id=sf&playerID=467055" class="textSm">P Sandoval</a> <!-- Player location is here of the number is here --!>
</td>
</tr>
