Hi,
I've just tested to locate a tr element by id using the same xpath expression
and it is working fine. Are you not encountering timing issue? If you are using
AJAX to update the page there could be different results depending on execution
speed.
Concerning diference between getPageSource and asXml Jevon is right:
getPageSource returns the original source returned by the server while asXml is
a dump of the current state of the DOM.
Could you please send us the result of asXml() when your test failed?
Regards,
Julien
