How to select links from this table with JSOUP?

Question

I have a table like this:

    <table class=firstclass>

   <tr>

      <td><a href....></a></td>

   </tr>

    <tr>

       <td><a href....></a></td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

      <td><a href....></a></td>

    </tr>

I have other tables in this page, so I suppose that I have to use something like:

  doc.select("td.firstclass > a[href]");

but it does not work.

I solved with this:

       Element table = doc.select("table.firstclass").first(); //gets a table with the class                 "first class"

        Elements links = table.select("a[href]");

        for (Element link : links) {



            String textlink= link.text();

             String urllink= link.attr("abs:href");

            ));  



        }

// ...

Using "td.firstclass" is implying that your TD will have the class "firstclass".. which is why you get 0 results

You should do something like..

Document doc = ....; //however you get your document

Element table = doc.select("table.firstclass").first(); //gets a table with the class "first class"
Elements links = table.select("a[href]");

And from there you can process your links however you want
