Hello,

This was reported a while back from @bakman2 in this [thread](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/html-node-not-extracting-content/50795/8)

The issue is with the html parser Cheerio.js library the Html node uses.

its due to your string not being a full html document but a fragment.  
(github page where Bakman opened the [issue](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio/issues/2096))

@knolleary  
I played around with the Html node code where cheerio is used  
`var $ = cheerio.load(value, null, false);`  
seems to fix the issue but i didnt do much testing (just a cookbook [example](https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/simple-get-request) and Esalles flow)
