so will something like this work using Hpple Xpath
//a[4]
The fourth tag in a html tree? Or do i need to do it programmatically by counting in a for() loop?
The XPath for the fourth <a>
in an HTML document is:
(//a)[4]
Your example //a[4]
will produce a set of all <a>
s that are the fourth <a>
in their respective parent, and that is not what you want here.
