I'm trying to retrieve a value out of my html by Xpath. For what it's worth, this is a CRM web tool(Microsoft's), and it looks like a dinamic iFrame which changes according to the link selected on its bar(Customers,Appeals etc...)

</tr></tbody>I'm using :
var nobrValues = _webdriverIE.FindElements(By.XPath("//nobr[@class='gridcellpadding']"));
but the result is 0. meaning no objects found. I also tried:
var _tableOfInterestsCount = _webdriverIE.FindElements(By.XPath("//table[@id='gridBodyTable']/tbody/tr[1]/td"));
var nobrvalues = var nobrValues = _tableOfInterestsCount.FindElements(By.XPath("//nobr[@class='gridcellpadding']"));
but again, no nobr's found(Count is 0). basically, I would like to get one(or all of them) of the following values out of my html : A1,A1.2,A5,A6,A9.

</table>Try the following XPATH for the 1st element (A1):
var nobrValues = _webdriverIE.FindElement(By.XPath("//tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/nobr/a"));
Or
If you already know the text i.e., A1 (static content)
var nobrValues = _webdriverIE.FindElement(By.XPath("//nobr/a[text()='A1']"));
For A2:
var nobrValues = _webdriverIE.FindElement(By.XPath("//tbody/tr[2]/td[2]/nobr/a"));
Or
If you already know the text i.e., A2 (static content)
var nobrValues = _webdriverIE.FindElement(By.XPath("//nobr/a[text()='A2']"));
Please share table HTML code, so that we can make XPATH more specific.
