  • 0

I am a completly noob on XPath, I am doing application to fetch data from a website, and I need to find 2 things:

1- all the span tags that start with: ctl00_Main_GridView_lieutenants

2- the href of the parent tag on the span…. errr.. I will try to explain:

<a href="something.html"><span id="ctl00_Main_GridView_lieutenants_ctl03_lbl_nick">Text</span></a>

I need the Text and the link 😉
