Subject: Hpricot syntax different from Xpath ?

Hi all

I'm trying to parse a page with Hpricot in order to retrieve a value.

I use Xpather (a firefox extension) in order to get the path of this
value. But when I use this path with Hpricot, it doesn't work. I have
to change it so that it works.

Here's my path, given by Xpather :

/html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[1]/
div[1]/table/tbody/tr[1]


And here's what I have to write in order to make it understand by
Hpricot :

/html/body/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/div/table/tr


Could you explain me why I have to write that ?

Thanks in advance
