Question

I want to get a div from my html document that has no id or name, but has a unique style tag.

Here is what I tried:

        foreach (HtmlNode node in myDocument.DocumentNode.DescendantNodes())
        {
            if (node.OuterHtml.Contains("div"))
            {
                HtmlAttribute att = node.Attributes["style"];

                if (att != null)
                {

                    if (att.ToString() == "font-size:16px;padding:4px 8px 0")
                    {
                        targetDiv = node;
                    }
                }
            }
           }

First I got all of the nodes in document, then I tried to filter out only the divs using:

if (node.OuterHtml.Contains("div"))

However, this isn’t actually filtering out the divs but selecting any tag which has div in it. What is the proper way to do this?

Try XPath:

var nodes = myDocument.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//div[@style='font-size:16px;padding:4px 8px 0']")
