Re: How to retrieve a WebTable from within a W ebForm

Hi Tim,

 

It's not valid XML so a parser isn't an option. I tried running Tidy on it
but that wasn't successful either. Right now Im doing lots of messy string
manipulation on the string representation of the form (which contains the
table) I can retrieve because it has an Id. 

 

tagsoup sounds interesting, Il look it up,

 

Thanks,

L

if it is valid xml (or xhtml) then you could get the string and then use an
xml parser to walk through it. I guess that's kind of obvious.

However, there is also an interesting looking opensource parser tagsoup
(haven't used) that, as the name implies, can parse partially valid html...
and you can then use xml methods (maybe even xpath, I'm not sure) to walk
through it.

Hi Graeme, 

That will just return the Top Level tables in the page. The table I want to
reference is not at the top level, its buried deep in the document inside
another table (and then inside a Form) so I don't think using that method
will solve my problem. 

Thanks, 
L
