Selector based on div with class name clock-text

Elements element = document.select("div.clock-text").first();

The first matched element, or null if contents is empty.

String value = element.text();

If you know the element you're trying to retrieve will always have the class clock-text then you have to change the last line to:


String value = document.body().select(".clock-text").get(0).text()

JSoup's select method works with CSS queries.
