Jsoup - get url from element

Question

I have an element link.(link is <li class="books"><a href="catagory.php?cat=books">Books</a></li>)

I am trying to parse the hred from this element using String url = link.attr("href"); It gives an empty string. Why?

(abs:href is also tried. Not working)

Answer 1

You should drill down to a specific element and then use the selector.

link.select("li a").attr("href")

In this case we need the attr of "a" element and not the "li"
