我试图抓取一个格式错误的HTML网页的网站。以一些网页为例:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

<script type="text/javascript">

  var _gaq = _gaq || [];
  _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-27283808-3']);

  (function() {

    ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
  })();

</script>

<script  type="text/javascript">

    if ( document.myForm.last.value == "" )

    }
        else  if ( document.myForm.first.value == "" )

正如我们从中可以看到的,这里有两个根元素。在这种情况下,Scrapy无法正确解析XPath。任何想法如何处理这个?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:3)

当您遇到格式错误的HTML页面时,请尝试概括您的xpath,因为浏览器和scrapy不会以相同的方式解释页面。在这种情况下,如果要提取表中的链接列表,请尝试这样的xpath:

//tr//td//a[contains(@href,'/specialty/')]
