I try to scrape a table and read specific TD in Table in each row. But for some reasons it fails at the last step. What I'm doing wrong?

content = driver.find_element_by_id("searchResultTable").find_elements_by_tag_name("tr")
for contents in content:
    pop(contents.find_elements_by_tag_name("td")[9].text, "Value of 9th")

this example works, but it's a bit lame to loop through every TD until the index match. There should be a way to contact a TD directly with [Index]

content = driver.find_element_by_id("searchResultTable").find_elements_by_tag_name("tr")
for contents in content:
    td = contents.find_elements_by_tag_name("td")
    for ind, ttd in enumerate(td):
        if ind == 9:
           pop(ttd.text, "Value of 9th")

what is the URL?

that's a company webpage, so I cannot provide an url, but I think the problem is somewhere in the code itself.

Can use CSS selector .find_element_by_css_selector
If getting first name eg Jill, body > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(1)(can copy selector from Browser).
Then the loop to get would be like this for getting all first name in table.

for n in range(2, 5):
    tag = f'body > table > tbody > tr:nth-child({n}) > td:nth-child(1)'
    print(tag)

Output:
body > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td:nth-child(1)
body > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(3) > td:nth-child(1)
body > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(4) > td:nth-child(1)

<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>Firstname</th>
    <th>Lastname</th>
    <th>Age</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Jill</td>
    <td>Smith</td>
    <td>50</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Eve</td>
    <td>Jackson</td>
    <td>94</td>
  </tr>
