Hi, If I have this as my HTML <html> <head></head> <body> <a> <b>city</b>My City <b>state</b>My State </a> </body> </html> and I have this as my code s = '<html><head></head><body><a><b>city</b>City<b>state</b>State</a></body>' s1 = etree.HTML(s) How can I get (find or findall or something else) "My City" and "My State" using lxml? Thanks in advance. Silent
btw - I have tried get next() and 'following-sibling' - they do not work. following-sibing gives me an error prefix 'following-sibling' not found in prefix map getnext() on the first "b" element should return "My City", but it returns the "state" element.

Hi Sandip, Try this:
from lxml import etree s = '<html><head></head><body><a><b>city</b>City<b>state</b>State</a></body>' s1 = etree.HTML(s) [ b.tail for b in s1.xpath('/html/body/a/b')] ['City', 'State']
Is it solve your problem? Regards, Piotr 2013/2/17 Sandip Shah <sandipshah@vthrive.com>

following-sibing gives me an error
prefix 'following-sibling' not found in prefix map
getnext() on the first "b" element should return "My City", but it returns the "state" element.

Hi Piotr, Yes, that does solve my problem. I should have read the tutorial thoroughly. I somehow missed the 'tail' function. Thanks a lot for your guidance. Sandip On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 2:43 PM, Piotr Owcarz <powcarz@gmail.com> wrote:
