Menu
I have following html and I am trying to figure out how exactly I can tell BeautifulSoup to extract td after certain html element. In this case I want to get data in <td> after <td>Color Digest</td>
<tr>
<td> Color Digest </td>
<td> 2,36,156,38,25,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, </td>
</tr>
This is the entire HTML

<div align="center">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="clear:both; width:100%;margin:0px; font-size:1pt;">

Sounds like you need to iterate over a list of <td> and stop once you've found your data.
Example:
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup('<html><tr><td>X</td><td>Color Digest</td><td>THE DIGEST</td></tr></html>')
for cell in soup.html.tr.findAll('td'):
if 'Color Digest' == cell.text:
print cell.nextSibling.text
