Consider this simple markup (list):

<html>
   <body>
 

      <div class=mz-block" id="block-1">
             <ul>
                    <li class="branch">
                        <u>MENU 1</u>
                        <ul>
                            <li class="leaf">foo1</li>
                            <li class="leaf">foo2</li>
                            <li class="branch">foo3
                                <ul>
                                    <li class="leaf">foo4</li>
                                    <li class="leaf">foo5</li>
                                    <li class="branch">foo6
                                        <ul>
                                            <li class="leaf">foo7</li>
                                        </ul>
                                    </li>
                                </ul>
                            </li>
                            <li class="leaf">foo8</li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                </ul>
      </div>

      <div class=mz-block" id="block-2">
         ...
      </div>

      <div class=mz-block" id="block-3">
         ...
      </div>


   </body>
</html>



Let's sat that i want to print ONLY the 4th <li> element of 2nd "descendant line".. so:

<li class="leaf">foo8</li>


In jQuery i will do like this:

console.log( $('div.mz-block').eq(0).find('> ul > li > ul > li').eq(3).html() );


And it works fine...
But, if i try the same in QueryPath, like this:

print html5qp($HTMLdoc,'div.mz-block')->eq(0)->find('> ul > li > ul > li')->eq(3)->html5();


i get this (wrong) element

<li class="leaf">foo4</li>

Which is (obviously) NOT a "direct" descendant ....


Finally, i tried with an XPath expression, so:

print $HTMLdoc->xpath('/html/body/div[@class="mz-block"]')->eq(0)->xpath('ul/li/ul/li')->eq(3)->html5();


And it works properly... output:

<li class="leaf">foo8</li>

...........

Any ideas???
Is there a way to report this "problem" directly to the Author?

That is a bug. It should return foo8.

When you have a moment, can you file that in the issue queue.
