Question

I wrote a function in Java to fetch 10 links by their IDs from a given URL. The href tag IDs in the HTML code are written as: id-1, id-2, etc. I’m using JSoup library. My code is:

    public static void linkList(String URL)
       {
          Document doc=Jsoup.parse(URL);
          Element e;
          int eId=1;

              for(int x=1; x<=10; x++)
              {
                //element ids: id-1, id-2, etc.. 
                e = doc.getElementById("id-"+eId); 
               System.out.println(e); //print the link
               eId++; //increment the id to fetch the next
              }
       } 

The output I get is always null. This is my first time to use JSoup and when I tried to ask in JSoup website, it guids me to Stack Overflow for any questions regarding JSoup.

Try

String elementText = e.text();
