Hi Sven,
The function is working perfectly fine for me.? Could it be due to package masking the function?? Sometimes, these problems will get solved by restarting R console.? It happened to me a couple of times.
A.K.

Subject: [R] Problem with readHTMLTable
Hello All,
i was trying to simply run the readHTMLTable on the example published in the
package. And on a page I was working on. So running:
u = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population"
tables = readHTMLTable(u)
returns the following error:
Error in tb[["thead"]] : subscript out of bounds
looking up this error on the web, didnt give me any hint. Is something wrong
with this function?
this is my sessioninfo:
