can't get proper xpath Query for retrieving an image from a webpage
I'm creating a rss service using C# and one of the website that we retrieve rss news from it doesn't have direct link to its images but if we go to their directlink pages we can find a picture by the help of firebug and using "XPATH" feature in firebug I can get a XPATH query for that particular picture but it seems that xpathquery is not valid because I have checked its xpathquery with : HtmlAgilityPack and also yahoo YQL
here is the xpath that I retreive from firebug :
//body
/form
/table[2]
/tbody
/tr[2]
/td
/table
/tbody
/tr
/td
/table
/tbody
/tr
/td
/img
and here is my YQL
select *
from html
where url="http://isna.ir/ISNA/PicView.aspx?Pic=Pic-1718372-1&Lang=P"
开发者_JS百科 and xpath='//body
/form
/table[2]
/tbody
/tr[2]
/td
/table
/tbody
/tr
/td
/table
/tbody
/tr
/td
/img'
this the website I want to retrieve images from it :
http://isna.ir/ISNA/PicView.aspx?Pic=Pic-1718372-1&Lang=P
since my Xpath ability is too weak and I know only few things about it I have to rely on tools such as firebug ... actually I know only firebug that return the xpath from selected html tag
so I have two question here :
1-would you please write me the correct xpath or advice me how to write a correct one?
2-is there any other tools such as firebug to showing the xpath corresponding of html tags?
regards.
I've got my answer : HtmlAgilityPack doesn't suppoer [tbody] and [html] tag inside xpathQuery so I've rewritten my query like :
//*[@id='Table2']/tbody/tr/td/table/tr/td/img
or
//body/form/table[2]/tr[2]/td/table/tr/td/table/tr/td/img
and here is what I've got from tracing HtmlAgilityPack
/html[1]/body[1]/table[2]/tr[2]/td[1]/table[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/table[1]/tr[1]/td[1]/img[1]
as all of above codes are correct for HtmlAgilityPack
and FYI there is another pluging for firebug called firepath which will give you concise query.
regards.
