Hi Monks,

I am trying to parse some URL with HTML TreeBuilder XPATH.

I retrieve an URL using LWP UserAgent which is loaded to $response->content.

Here's the code that loads that variable to a $tree instance: 

my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new;
$tree->parse($response->content);
my $t = $tree->findnodes(qq{/html/body/form/div});
print $t->size;

[download]

If I print the content of $response->content to a plain html file and open it using Firefox, the total amount of /html/body/form/div's is 19.

However, printing $t->size results in only 12..

Why is this happening??

$tree is ignoring most of my divs and so I can't retrieve data from them....

Thanks!
