You will notice that the predicate, [107], does not match the element named 107, but instead searches for the 107th element.
You might want to try a tool like Webtest recorder, that will give you the xpath value for you. What also might be wrong is your .../td/td. This is saying that td is a child element of td. Which is wrong. You might want //div/31/../../td/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'viewreport.v'] or something like that. Personally I'd place an id tag inside the <tr> to make your life easier. Something like <tr id='31'> turns the xpath into //[EMAIL PROTECTED]'31']//tr/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope I helped.
