How come price and availability keeps returning the same value from the first loop?

C#

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument html = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
html.Load("test.htm");

foreach (HtmlNode row in html.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//*[@id=\"product_list\"]/li/div[2]/h3/a"))
{
     HtmlNode price = row.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id=\"product_list\"]/li/div[3]/div/span[1]");
     HtmlNode available = row.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id=\"product_list\"]/li/div[3]/div/span[2]");

Thanks

It is allowed to use single quotes around your attribute values instead of escaped double quotes.
Ex. row.SelectSingleNode("//*[@id='product_list']/li/div[3]/div/span[1]");

Also, for correct xpath syntax you should use a dot before the selector when selecting elements inside another element (not the document element)

I've answered you here[^], on one of your previous questions.

Actually I just noticed that you posted multiple questions for the same subject, in the future please don't do that, that is not allowed in CodeProject and your questions can easily get closed due to it.

Thanks Mario, I figured I would post the question in its own thread instead of combining it and it was not related.

Mario, how do I get in touch with you? I looked at how you came to the answer but its so different when looking at other pages. This stuff is so confusing especially when you are not a software developer.

Hi, you can get in touch with me here, just reply to one of my previous messages or as you already have you can send a direct message and I will reply as soon as I can.
Note that I will continue this discussion regarding your issue on that other post of yours because it will be more relevant there to what I will try to explain.
