Question

hi
I am trying to read html to get some data from yahoo stock, and I want to read what the class is. so here is what I have

data.query.results.span[0].strong.class

my problem is javascript doesn’t like class there and takes it as a special key word or something

when I do data.query.results.span[0].strong.content it works fine.

Strong has 2 elements inside first class second content.

is there a way to make java look at class as in element in that json object rather than a keyword?

thank you

Answer 1

Use the bracket notation.

data.query.results.span[0].strong['class']

class is a reserved future keyword, and will bomb out in most modern browsers now. I know Safari doesn’t like it.
