Answer 1

Pretty straightforward:

//tr[not(@id) and not(@class)]

That will give you all tr elements lacking both id and class attributes. If you want all tr elements lacking one of the two, use or instead of and:

//tr[not(@id) or not(@class)]

When attributes and elements are used in this way, if the attribute or element has a value it is treated as if it's true. If it is missing it is treated as if it's false.

Answer 2

Can you try //tr[not(@id)]?

Answer 3

If you're looking for an element that has class a but doesn't have class b, you can do the following.

//*[contains(@class, 'a') and not(contains(@class, 'b'))]

Or if you want to be sure not to match partial.

//*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' some-class ') and 
not(contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' another-class '))]

if (elm.hasAttribute('id')) { 
//if id - implement here
    } else if (elm.hasAttribute('class')) { 
        //if class - implement here
    } else { 
        for (i = 1, sib = elm.previousSibling; sib; sib = sib.previousSibling) { 
            if (sib.localName == elm.localName)
                i++;
        }; 
        segs.unshift(elm.localName.toLowerCase() + '[' + i + ']'); 
    }
