Hi,

Reading a very simple html page with a table in it.

%html[tr:nth-child«2»] Reads the 2nd row just like it is supposed to.

%html[tr:nth-child«%var»] While this returns only the code itself.

I've tried suffixing the % with all kinds of things.

The html is basically just

</td></tr></tbody></table></body></html>

with a few tr's and a few td's populated with some nuclear plant runtime data.

Hi! Can you please export an example task of that as an URI (not a link, but a direct URI) and paste it here so I can then import it and test it myself?

Thanks in advance!

Possible workaround: put the child specification into a variable and then use that variable in the html/css reference:

Hi, I hope this Data URI is the right format.

Thank you, RSF, putting css paths to variables works!

However, it appears that the path (everything inside the square brackets) must be inside one variable, you cannot split it into: %html[%table-row-path>%table-td-path]

Instead you first need to combine those two paths into one var:

%whole-path = %table-row-path>%table-td-path

and then simply do %html[%whole-path].

Or you may write the whole path variable in one go:

%whole-path = tr:nth-child«%tr-num»>td:nth-child«%td-num».
