I have html content that I am storing as an XML document (using HTML Agility Pack). I know some XPath, but I am not able to zero into the exact content I need.

In my example below, I am trying to extract the “src” and “alt” text from the large image. This is my example:

<html>
<body>
   ....
   <div id="large_image_display">
      <img class="photo" src="images/KC0763_l.jpg" alt="Circles t-shirt - Navy" />
   </div>
   ....
   <div id="small_image_display">
      <img class="photo" src="images/KC0763_s.jpg" alt="Circles t-shirt - Navy" />
   </div>
</body>
</html>

What is the XPath to get “images/KC0763_l.jpg” and “Circles t-shirt – Navy”? This is how far I got but it is wrong. Mostly pseudo code at this point:

\\div[@class='large_image_display']\img[1][@class='photo']@src
\\div[@class='large_image_display']\img[1][@class='photo']@alt

Any help in getting this right would be greatly appreciated.

    The following xpath will get you to the src attributes for the img tags:

    '//html/body/div/img[@class="photo"]/@src'

    And similarly this will get you to the alt attributes:

    '//html/body/div/img[@class="photo"]/@alt'

    From there you can get to the attribute text. If you want to only find the ones that match ‘large_image_display’ then you would filter it further like this:

    '//html/body/div[@id="large_image_display"]/img[@class="photo"]/@src'
