XPath has it (Score:1)
It's possible, but I'm not sure how to handle multiple predicates. For the simple case, it looks like this:
"div[/*/span[@class='storyicons']]"
which pulls out all the divs which have a grandchild which is a span with a class of 'storyicons'.

You can put multiple predicates on a single path step. Something like
/foo[@bar='baz'][@quux='qux']is completely valid (and logically equivalent to/foo[@bar='baz' and @quux='qux']).Re: (Score:1)
ah!
So in the example above, it would be something like
"//div[@class='full'][.//div/div[@class='details']/a[@href='"+href+"']]"
(I think)

Err, wait, no. Where did that
.//in your second predicate come from? It would be eitheror
You want those nested DIVs and As as direct child nodes of each other and of the node in question – you’re not looking for that subtree anywhere further down.
