Jsoup Parsing

[Brian McGowan]

I'm currently using jsoup to parse a HTML document. I've loaded it into a Document by using

Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get;
Elements ele = doc.getElementsByClass("second-col") 

This in itself returns three elements in the ele list
<li class="second-col"> <label for="ctl00_Content_ctl00_ddlAirline" id="ctl00_Content_ctl00_lblAirline">Airline</label> <select name="ctl00$Content$ctl00$ddlAirline" id="ctl00_Content_ctl00_ddlAirline"> <option selected="selected" value="">Any</option> <option value=""></option> <option value="Aer Lingus">Aer Lingus</option> <option value="Air Canada Aca">Air Canada Aca</option>...............

and so on.

I'm looking to select the first element of the list, and parse the <option value> into an ArrayList<String>.

Anyone know how I can do this?

You need something like this?

String html = "<p>An <a href='http://example.com/'><b>example</b></a> link.</p>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element link = doc.select("a").first();

Look at jsoup manual, maybe you can find something.
