Re: [HtmlUnit] How to get htmltable without table id?

[Christian S. <chr...@ne...>]

this raises a question I have had on my mind for a while:

what about specifying elements via XPath? There are XPath 
implementations around that can operate on a standard DOM, so if that 
was accessible (I didnt find it in Htmlunit, but must be around 
somewhere), one could point to any elements via XPath. There are even 
free graphical tools available to create XPath expressions from a web page.
