How to parse html table using xml?

I'm having an html table of the format 

<table>
 <th>
     <td> td1 </td>
     <td> td2 </td>
     <td> td3 </td>
     <td> td4 </td>
     <td> td5 </td>
     <td> td6 </td>
     <td> td7 </td>
     <td> td8 </td>
     <td> td9 </td>
     <td> td10 <td>
   </th>
</table>

I need to parse through the cells in each row within the table body. I looped through the row using a javascript and inorder to save the html content i'm using webmethod( because on saving, my page will reload and i will lose my html table, to avoid that i stored it on a session using webmethod and this too happens within my javascript call) . The issue is my client side script is getting skipped at times and i'm not able to save my html content. So i thought of to send the html content as a whole in one script call and do the parsing in server-side.

Now, i need to know how to parse it from server-side. Can some-body help me to parse it using xml?

I think you should try HTML Agility Pack

from CodePlex

What is exactly the Html Agility Pack (HAP)?

This is an agile HTML parser that builds a read/write DOM and supports plain XPATH or XSLT (you actually don't HAVE to understand XPATH nor XSLT to use it, don't worry...). It is a .NET code library that allows you to parse "out of the web" HTML files. The parser is very tolerant with "real world" malformed HTML. The object model is very similar to what proposes System.Xml, but for HTML documents (or streams).
