Yep. Generally speaking, programmers create a function and feed it test data (e.g. an appropriate URL) in order to test that it works.

It could be that you need a different table. Remember that in HTML, tables can exist inside other tables. Thus, it's possible that within table[1] exists table[6], which contains more specific data. Try some of the other tables on the page and see if there aren't any that can narrow down your search.
