Question

How to select table rows excluding first row. Number of table rows could vary.

Here is example:

<table id="grdVerzekeringen" >
    <tr>
        <th>First name</th><th>Last name</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Pera</td><td>Peric</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Mika</td><td>Mikic</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Zika</td><td>Zikic</td>
    </tr>
</table>

In this example I want to select table rows that have actual data not header data. I could use css selectors or XPath.

Answer 1

If the header row uses th, you are lucky. Just use the following XPath expression:

table[@id="grdVerzekeringen"]/tr[td]

If the header uses td as well, you can use the position() function:

table[@id="..."]/tr[position()>1]
