    <p>The <code>*</code> matches element nodes and not text nodes. Try replacing <code>*</code> with <code>node()</code> to select all node types.</p> <p>To break down what your XPath is doing:</p> <p>You are looking anywhere in the document (<code>//</code>) for a div with class 'contentDealDescriptionFacts cf'. </p> <p>Then you are looking for the 2nd div under that which also has the class <code>viewHalfWidthSize</code>. Note, this is not the 2nd div that has the class but the div that is 2nd AND has that class, so if the divs with that class are the 3rd and 4th it wouldn't match anything as the 2nd div with the class has <code>position() = 4</code>. If you want the 2nd <code>viewHalfWidthSize</code> div then you'll want <code>[@class='viewHalfWidthSize'][position()=2]</code>.</p> <p>Finally, you are returning a nodelist of all elements without the class <code>subHeadline</code>. If you change the <code>*</code> to <code>node()</code> then you will get a nodelist of all nodes.</p> <hr> <p>The following XPath:</p> <pre><code>//div[@class='contentDealDescriptionFacts cf']/div[@class='viewHalfWidthSize' and position()=2]/node()[not(name(.)='div' and position() = 1)] </code></pre> <p>should return what you want as long as the first child node is the div you want to ignore.</p> <p>If you change it to:</p> <pre><code>//div[@class='contentDealDescriptionFacts cf']/div[@class='viewHalfWidthSize' and position()=2]/node()[position() != count(../div[1]/preceding-sibling::node()) + 1] </code></pre> <p>then it should work regardless. It returns your nodelist, then works out how many preceding nodes there are before the first div, and checks the position isn't one greater than that (i.e. position of first div) and excludes that from the list.</p> <hr> <p>As yet another alternative you could just modify your original solution but instead of doing <code>not(@class='subHeadline')</code> you should do </p> <pre><code>not(contains(concat(' ', @class, ' '), ' subHeadline ')) </code></pre> <p>which will check if the class attribute contains <code>subHeadline</code> anywhere in the string on the assumption that your classes are space separated. This would then match your fragment which has the class <code>"subHeadline firefinder-match"</code></p>

    1. COno.......I tried, but thanks!. //div[@class='contentDealDescriptionFacts cf']/div[@class='viewHalfWidthSize' and position()=2]/node() the selector was empty

    2. COCheck the XPath bit by bit to check what it is matching. See my edit about the position in case that's your problem - using 2 predicates instead of a combined one.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
