How do I select this element in JSOUP?
java, jsoup
Solution
The DIV with the class="subtabs" is not in fact the parent of the `p` element but instead is the sibling of `p`. To retrieve the `p`, you'll need to first get a reference to the parent DIV that has the id="content":
Element link = doc.select("div#content > p").first();
Additionally, you'll need the `>` symbol to indicate that you're selecting a child of div#content.
parent > child: child elements that descend directly from parent, e.g. div.content > p finds p elements; and body > * finds the direct children of the body tag
If you get stuck with a JSOUP CSS selector in the future, check out the JSOUP Selector Syntax cookbook, which has some nice examples and explanations.
Problem
This is the HTML structure: ``` Element link = doc.select("div.subtabs p").first(); ``` That does not seem to work. How do I select that `p`?
