morning.... i apologize up front as this is really more of an xpath question..
in my python, i'm using the xpath function to iterate/parse some html. i can do something like s=d.xpath("//tr/td/text()") count=len(s) and get the number of nodes that have text i can then do something like s=d.xpath("//tr/td") count2=len(s) and get the number of total nodes... by subtracting, i can get the number of nodes, without text.. is there an easier way??!! count2-count ie, if i have something like <tr> <td></td> <td>foo</td> </tr> is there a way to get the count that there is a single "td" node with text()="" thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
