:first and :nth-child(x) not behaving as expected
HTML structure:
Even in simpler cases it's returning multiple elements:
<!doctype html>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="title" rowspan="2">...</td>
<td>...</td>
<td rowspan="2">...</td>
<td class="subtable">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2 maanden:</td>
<td>€110,-</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Jaarabonnement:</strong></td>
<td>€1.230,-</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Corporate: ...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
On the top row level I need to find the column contents, so I'm doing:
element.find(':first')
which returns td.title, td, td and td.subtable, where I'd expect just td.title. Element is a pq element of the parent row.
When trying to select the td after td.title
element.find('td:nth-child(2)')
it's completely skipping the direct children and instead looking in the td.subclass
