HI Marc, all right, will switch to the latest trunk version. I though using a stable version would be... stable :-) No problem. I was also adding an id field to the html, so should be able to identify the td cell more easily now.
Sorry for the strange description, I am trying to extract an ad id ( id = hibernate id) from an html page. I would like to save that id and later populate a search box to look exactly that id up again. The complete test will create an ad, then change it and delete in the end. That's why I need to store the id as it is the unique identifier. Will have to make all the changes proposed, then will let you know if it works. Thanx for your patience!

Hi Sven, which version of WebTest do you use? You should use the latest build, release 2.1 for instance is not able to evaluate dynamic properties outside WebTest steps (like echo) and normal Ant properties are evaluated too early. Otherwise I agree with Colin, that if you really need such an xpath expression, then your code won't be really maintainable. Furthermore I don't understand what you want to achieve from the description "Extract href the id of this advertisement". Marc.
