Hi Oscar! The real purpose is to get the text in html cell (between the <tr><td><tr><td>), but since I don't have any tag identifier (id, name, value) for the html cell, I want to grab the value of the <td> tag, which matches with the text in the html cell.
Like you said, locating the hidden and getting the value is exactly what I'm trying to do. Do you happen to know how I can do that? Can you give me an example of how the 'hidden' class is used? Thanks!
