Hi anonymous, your code is working perfectly right. It's just that the only time that you find anything matching //div[@class="col f-cb"] is this one:
<div class="col f-cb">
<div class="name s-fc3 f-fl">名称</div>
<div class="down s-fc3 f-fl">视频下载</div>
<div class="desc s-fc3 f-fl">课程简介</div>
</div>
And obviously, there's no <a> in there, so the xpath won't match.
Cheers,
Philipp
