Unable to extract column from table

[chrisdevilliers]

Given a simple 3x3 table with HTML tree:

{<<"table">>,[],[
    {<<"tr">>,[],[
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"100">>]},
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"200">>]},
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"300">>]}
    ]},
    {<<"tr">>,[],[
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"400">>]},
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"500">>]},
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"600">>]}
    ]},
    {<<"tr">>,[],[
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"700">>]},
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"800">>]},
        {<<"td">>,[],[<<"900">>]}
    ]}
]}

and an XPath expression to extract the first column:

"//table/tr/td[1]"

I expected the following output:

[
    {<<"td">>,[],[<<"100">>]},
    {<<"td">>,[],[<<"400">>]},
    {<<"td">>,[],[<<"700">>]}
]

Instead I only get the first row's column:

[{<<"td">>,[],[<<"100">>]}]

I tested this with a few online XPath testers and they all give 100,400,700.

Hi Chris, just to let you know, I was never the developer for this project - I was using it in one of my own projects, and with the permission of the original developer, put it up on github. I don't have much time to spend on it, either. In fact, I only recently got around to accepting some pull requests that were several years old! D'oh!

So basically, it is very unlikely I'll have time to dig into this. If you are able to find and fix the problem, I will try to get a pull request or a patch merged in a reasonable amount of time.

Cool, no worries. I doubt that I will get around to it either :-/
