I’ve already looked into several Stack Overflow topics with similar questions.

I have the following problem: I have a simple html page, downloaded and saved locally as .html File, I am parsing it with JSoup to read the content of that table. Unfortunately when I look for my table with .select(“table”) it returns me no Elements. Hence I have debugged it, what I could notice is… my body node has one childnode, which appears to be solely String, and thus I assume I can’t find any table node?

Can anyone help me out please?

Here is my code snippet:

   for (Element table : doc.select("table.creditsuisse")) {
        for (Element row : table.select("tr")) {
            for (Element tds : row.select("td")){
                for(Element link : row.select("href")){
                    System.out.println(link.text());
                }
                System.out.println(tds.text());
            }
        }
    }

And here is how my input File looks like:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table class="creditsuisse" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
      <tbody>
    <tr>
        <th>Name</th>

    In order to read a local file in JSoup you would need to use the parse method that takes a File object rather than the one that takes HTML content. Replace

    Document doc = Jsoup.parse("C:\\...\\myFile.html", "UTF-8");

    with

    Document doc = Jsoup.parse(new File("C:\\...\\myFile.html"), "UTF-8");
