expression engine search result related - expressionengine

I want to display up to 200 words of the related results just in the next line to title
But i am not getting the text that {excerpt} should Display
My code is written below
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
<tr class="{switch}">
{if page_meta_title != ""} <td width="30%" valign="top"><b>{title}</b></td>{/if}
</tr>
<tr><td style="color:red!important">{excerpt}</td></tr>
{if count == total_results}
</table>
{/if}
{paginate}
<p>Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}</p>
{/paginate}
{/exp:search:search_results}
</table>

Maybe this was just a typo in your question, but it looks like you have the opening search tag listed twice.
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}
Also, the excerpt tag by default allows 50 characters. You can also consider the character limiter plugin (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/character-limiter) which is a free plugin from Ellis Lab. Once you have that setup, you would use it like so....
{exp:char_limit total="200" exact="no"}{your_text_field}{/exp:char_limit}

I am working on a project to fill data in a pre existing web table

I am working on a project where I have to fill data in a pre populated dynamic web table. I am able to find the element with the help of XPath in selenium VBA. I am able to click the element. But Whenever I Try to fill data with sendkey command I get the message "Run time error 0.Element not intractable.
When I try sendKey command with normal id of the element or CSS id then it gets accepted but when I try XPath i get the above message.
bot.FindElementByXPath("//td[contains(text(),'XYZ')]/following-sibling::td[5]").SendKeys "54"
<tr style="background-color:White;height:24px;">
<td class="gridtext" align="center">
<span class="checkboxclass"><input id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_grdUsers_ctl02_chkSelect" type="checkbox" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$grdUsers$ctl02$chkSelect" onclick="javascript:setTimeout('__doPostBack(\'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$grdUsers$ctl02$chkSelect\',\'\')', 0)"></span>

</td><td class="gridtext" align="center">
You need to target the child input tag of the td as the td itself is not interactable. So, you need to add /input to your current path
bot.FindElementByXPath("//td[contains(text(),'XYZ')]/following-sibling::td[5]/input").SendKeys "54"
Here is a similar example where you select the child input of a td based on the parent tr having a td with specific text
bot.Get 'https://datatables.net/examples/api/form.html'
bot.FindElementByXPath("//tr[contains(td/text(), 'Angelica Ramos')]/td[2]/input").SendKeys "test"
Or
//td[contains(text(),'Angelica Ramos')]/following-sibling::td[1]/input

xpath: How do I extract text within the "strong" tag?

I'm using scrapy and need to extract "Gray / Gray" using xpath selectors.
Here's the html snippet:
<div class="Vehicle-Overview">
<div class="Txt-YMM">
2006 GMC Sierra 1500
</div>
<div class="Txt-Price">
Price : $8,499
</div>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
class="Table-Specs">
<tr>
<td>
<strong>2006 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab 143.5 WB 4WD
SLE</strong>
<strong class="text-right t-none"></strong>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<strong>Gray / Gray</strong><br />
<strong>209,123
Miles
/ VIN: XXXXXXXXXX
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm stuck trying to extract "Gray / Gray" within the "strong" tag. Any help is appreciated.
This XPath will work in Scrapy and also in Google/Firefox Developer's Console:
//div[#class='Vehicle-Overview']/table[#class='Table-Specs']//tr[2]/td[1]/strong[1]/text()
You can use this code in your spider:
color = response.xpath("//div[#class='Vehicle-Overview']/table[#class='Table-Specs']//tr[2]/td[1]/strong[1]/text()").extract_first()
You can use this XPath expression with your sample XML/HTML:
//div[#class='Vehicle-Overview']/table[#class='Table-Specs']/tr[2]/td[1]/strong[1]
A full XPath given the full file mentioned below with respect to a namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" can be
/html/body/div/div/div[#class='content-bg']/div/div/div[#class='Vehicle-Overview']/table[#class='Table-Specs']/tr[2]/td[1]/strong[1]

VBA Excel get text inside HTMLObject

I know this is really easy for some of you out there. But I have been going deep on the internet and I can not find an answer. I need to get the company name that is inside the
tbody tr td a eBay-tradera.com
and
td class="bS aR" 970,80
/td /tr /tbody
<tbody id="matrix1_group0">
<tr class="oR" onmouseover="onMouseOver(this, false)" onmouseout="onMouseOut(this, false)" onclick="onClick(this, false)">
<td class="bS"> </td>
<td>
<a href="aProgramInfoApplyRead.action?programId=175&affiliateId=2014848" title="http://www.tradera.com/" target="_blank">
eBay-Tradera.com
</a>
</td>
<td class="aR">
175</td>
<td class="bS aR">0</td><td class="bS aR">0</td><td class="bS aR">187</td>
<td class="aR">0,00%</td><td class="bS aR">124</td>
<td class="aR">0,00%</td>
<td class="bS aR">26</td>
<td class="aR">20,97%</td>
<td class="bS aR">32</td>
<td class="aR">60,80</td>
<td class="aR">25,81%</td>
<td class="bS aR">5 102,00</td>
<td class="bS aR">0,00</td>
<td class="aR">0,00</td>
<td class="bS aR">
970,80
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
This is my code, where I only try to get the a tag to start of with but I cant get that to work either
Set TDelements = document.getElementById("matrix1_group0").document.getElementsbytagname("a").innerHTML
r = 0
C = 0
For Each TDelement In TDelements
Blad1.Range("A1").Offset(r, C).Value = TDelement.innerText
r = r + 1
Next
Thanks on beforehand I know that this might be to simple. But I hope that other people might have the same issue and this will be helpful for them as well. The reason for the "r = r + 1" is because there are many more companies on this list. I just wanted to make it as easy as I could. Thanks again!
You will need to specify the element location in the table. Ebay seems to be obfuscating the class-names so we cannot rely on those being consistent. Nor would I usually rely on the elements by their table index being consistent but I don't see any way around this.
I am assuming that this is the HTML document you are searching
<tbody id="matrix1_group0">
<tr class="oR" onmouseover="onMouseOver(this, false)" onmouseout="onMouseOut(this, false)" onclick="onClick(this, false)">
<td class="bS"> </td>
<td>
<a href="aProgramInfoApplyRead.action?programId=175&affiliateId=2014848" title="http://www.tradera.com/" target="_blank">
eBay-Tradera.com <!-- <=== You want this? -->
</a>
</td>
<!-- ... -->
</tr>
<!-- ... -->
</tbody>
We can ignore the rest of the document as the table element has an ID. In short, we assume that
.getElementById("matrix1_group0").getElementsByTagName("TR")
will return a collection of html row objects sorted by their appearance.
Set matrix = document.getElementById("matrix1_group0")
Set firstRow = matrix.getElementsByTagName("TR")(1)
Set firstRowSecondCell = firstRow.getElementsByTagName("TD")(2)
traderaName = firstRowSecondCell.innerText
Of course you could inline this all as
document.getElementById("matrix1_group0").getElementsByTagName("TR")(1).getElementsByTagName("TD")(2).innerText
but that would make debugging harder. Also if the web-page is ever presented to you in a different format then this won't work. Ebay is deliberately making it hard for you to scrape data off of it for security.
With only the HTML you have shown you can use CSS selectors to obtain these:
a[href*='aProgramInfoApplyRead.action?programId']
Which says a tag with attribute href that contains the string 'aProgramInfoApplyRead.action?programId'. This matches two elements but the first is the one you want.
CSS Selector:
VBA:
You can use .querySelector method of .document to retrieve the first match
Debug.Print ie.document.querySelector("a[href*='aProgramInfoApplyRead.action?programId']").innerText

JavaFX hide text of column in tableview

I have a tableview and I want to show an image in the first column. My problem is I can't sort the column then. My idea is to set text in the column too and hide the text so it is only for the correct sorting set. Is there a way to do that? Or what other solutions are possible for my problem?
I think this is the perfect example what you wants to do.Still let me know if you have any issue.
Check here
I would have a look at TableColumn.setCellValueFactory() and TableColumn.setCellFactory(). The further is used to provide the actual cell value (used for sorting!), the latter is used to provide the rendering.
In other words: If you need the sort order, you must not change the content, but only the Cell rendering. The methods mentioned above let you do exactly this.
Hope that helps ...
You could do it with just CSS using text-indent. You would also need to set the image as a css background. You did not provide an code of your table, but below is some example:
HTML:
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td class="hidetext image">Text 1</td>
<td>Some text to show</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="hidetext image">Text 2</td>
<td>Some text to show</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="hidetext image">Text 3</td>
<td>Some text to show</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="hidetext image">Text 4</td>
<td>Some text to show</td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS:
.hidetext {text-indent:-9000px}
.image {background:url(http://www.madisoncopy.com/images/jpeg.jpg) no-repeat;}
See how in the left column the text does not show (but it is actually there just indented off the screen).

Formatting HTML Tables for Excel

I have a page in asp that makes a xls table, however when open the table all the rows are stuffed into the default column width which I would like to set.
My table looks something like this:
<table>
<thead>
'A for loop makes a series of th
</thead>
'another loop pulls db values
<tr><td>value1</td><td>value2</td> 'etc </tr>
</table>
I have tried the following to set the space
width="3.29in"
&nsp; spam (barbaric but sometimes effective)
width="400px"
style="width:300px"
none of the above seem to work.
Additionally here is my header asp incase its relevant
Response.Clear()
Response.Buffer = False
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=blah.xls"
Also on a side note for some reason when I have a dollar value printed as such
<td>$<%=dbvalue%></td>
for some reason this yields '$dollar value and I am not sure how to nuke the single quote.
Do you need the thead tag? Something like this should work:
<html>
<body>
<h1>Report Title</h1>
<table >
<tr>
<th style="width : 300px">header1</th>
<th style="width : 100px">header2</th>
<th style="width : 200px">header..</th>
<th style="width : 300px">....</th>
</tr>
<tr class="row1">
<td >value1</td>
<td >value2</td>
<td >value..</td>
<td >....</td>
</tr>
....
Optionally you can put the table row with th tags inside a <thead> tag
