    <p>So maybe you don't want to walk the divs, but here is my solution using lxml, which I highly recommend:</p> <pre><code>import re from cStringIO import StringIO from lxml import etree def getTable(html, table_xpath, rows_xpath, cells_xpath): """Get a table on a webpage""" parser = etree.HTMLParser() # Build document tree and get table root = etree.parse(StringIO(html), parser) table = root.find(table_xpath) if table == None: print 'No table.' return [] rows = table.findall(rows_xpath) document = [] def cleanText(text): """Clean up text by replacing line breaks and tabs. """ return re.sub(r'[\r\n\t]+','',str(text).strip()) # iterate over the table rows and collect text from each cell. for r in rows: cells = r.findall(cells_xpath) rowdata = [] for c in cells: text = '' it = c.itertext() for i in it: text += cleanText(i) + ' ' rowdata.append(text) document.append(rowdata) return document html = """ &lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt; &lt;img src="some_image.gif" alt="Some Title"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;TABLE WIDTH=500 BORDER=1 class=textwhite ALIGN=center CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0&gt; &lt;TR&gt; &lt;TD colspan=4 ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;b&gt;Title&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;/TR&gt; &lt;TR&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;Title&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;date&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;value&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;value&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;Title2&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;div class=redtext&gt;----&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;Title3&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;div class=yellowtext&gt;value&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;div class=redtext&gt;value&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;value&lt;SUP&gt;6&lt;/SUP&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TR&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;Title4&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;div class=bluetext&gt;value&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD ALIGN=center&gt;&lt;div class=redtext&gt;value&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;TD&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/TD&gt; &lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; """ tp = "//table[@width='500']" rt = "tr" cp = "td[@align='center']" doc = getTable(html, tp, rt, cp) print repr(doc) </code></pre>

Guidance
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.
