I need to retrieve table contents from several websites. For speed I strongly prefer to use the HTML source option in the [Get Web Page] action. However, the [Get Table Content] action returns no results whether I use the "table number" or "containing text" parameters. I understand that there are differences between DOM and HTML, but I used the Inspector to find the table number and the containing text is unique to the table.

FYI, the URL I am using is http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=FWV and I am looking for the contents of table1 or the table containing "Last Trade". Both are successful with DOM, but not with HTML.

What is wrong? Thank you!

We upgraded the Get Table action to work with the DOM source to make it a more reliable action. The DOM is structured so it will get table content, regardless of any table row errors by the web designer.

The old action can be found in the section depreciated and will work with the HTML source. However it's not as robust as the new action.

See the attached update of your script.
