jsoup extract specific attribute from a hyperlink

I have I some hyperlinks in a web page that I want to extract the attribute title which within it
I tried
select("a[href]").attr("title")
but I get no thing
Edit
The complete div here
Trial code
Elements es = doc.select("div.mini-placard")
for(Element e:es)
{
System.out.println( e.select("span.align-image-vertically").select("a").attr("title"));
}
no output !

Please extract link element properly and then inspect attributes of the link element as below:
String html = "<p>An <a href='http://example.com/' title='hi'><b>example</b></a> link.</p>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element link = doc.select("a").first();
String text = doc.body().text(); // "An example link"
String linkHref = link.attr("href"); // "http://example.com/"
String linkTitle = link.attr("title"); // 'hi'

How to extract those elements in Jsoup

I want to extract the "Abstract" and the "Title" as shown in the photo below. However I can't extract the title and I tried to extract the tag "Abstract" but it didn't work.
String html = "http://example.com/";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element link = doc.select("Abstract").first();

Try this:
Element title = doc.select("FONT[size=+1]").first();
Element abstractParagraph = doc.select("CENTER:has(b:containsOwn(Abstract)) + p").first();

Parse the inner html tags using jSoup

I want to find the important links in a site using Jsoup library. So for this suppose we have following code:
<h1>This is important </h1>
Now while parsing how can we find that the tag a is inside the h1 tag?

You can do it this way:
File input = new File("/tmp/input.html");
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(input, "UTF-8", "http://example.com/");
Elements headlinesCat1 = doc.getElementsByTag("h1");
for (Element headline : headlinesCat1) {
Elements importantLinks = headline.getElementsByTag("a");
for (Element link : importantLinks) {
String linkHref = link.attr("href");
String linkText = link.text();
System.out.println(linkHref);
}
}
Taken from the JSoup Cookbook.

Use selector:
Elements elements = doc.select("h1 > a");

Parsing elements within div using Jsoup

Here is the html I'm trying to parse:
<div class="entry">
<img src="http://www.example.com/image.jpg" alt="Image Title">
<p>Here is some text</p>
<p>Here is some more text</p>
</div>
I want to get the text within the <p>'s into one ArrayList. I've tried using Jsoup for this.
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(line);
Elements descs = doc.getElementsByClass("entry");
for (Element desc : descs) {
String text = desc.getElementsByTag("p").first().text();
myArrayList.add(text);
}
But this doesn't work at all. I'm quite new to Jsoup but it seems it has its limitations. If I can get the text within <p> into one ArrayList using Jsoup, how can I accomplish that? If I must use some other means to parse the html, let me know.
I'm using a BufferedReader to read the html file one line at a time.

You could change your approach to the following:
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(line);
Elements pElems = doc.select("div.entry > p");
for (Element pElem : pElems) {
myArrayList.add(pElem.data());
}

Not sure why you are reading the html line by line. However if you want to read the whole html use the code below:
String line = "<div class=\"entry\">" +
"<img src=\"http://www.example.com/image.jpg\" alt=\"Image Title\">" +
"<p>Here is some text</p>" +
"<p>Here is some more text</p>" +
"</div>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(line);
Elements descs = doc.getElementsByClass("entry");
List<String> myArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
for (Element desc : descs) {
Elements paragraphs = desc.getElementsByTag("p");
for (Element paragraph : paragraphs) {
myArrayList.add(paragraph.text());
}
}

In your for-loop:
Elements ps = desc.select("p");
(http://jsoup.org/apidocs/org/jsoup/nodes/Element.html#select(java.lang.String))

Try this:
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(line);
String text = doc.select("p").first().text();

Jsoup get href within a class

I have this html code that I need to parse
<a class="sushi-restaurant" href="/greatSushi">Best Sushi in town</a>
I know there's an example for jsoup that you can get all links in a page,e.g.
Elements links = doc.select("a[href]");
for (Element link : links) {
print(" * a: <%s> (%s)", link.attr("abs:href"),
trim(link.text(), 35));
}
but I need a piece of code that can return me the href for that specific class.
Thanks guys

You can select elements by class. This example finds elements with the class sushi-restaurant, then gets the absolute URL of the first result.
Make sure that when you parse the HTML, you specify the base URL (where the document was fetched from) to allow jsoup to determine what the absolute URL of a link is.
public static void main(String[] args) {
String html = "<a class=\"sushi-restaurant\" href=\"/greatSushi\">Best Sushi in town</a>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html, "http://example.com/");
// find all <a class="sushi-restaurant">...
Elements links = doc.select("a.sushi-restaurant");
Element link = links.first();
// 'abs:' makes "/greatsushi" = "http://example.com/greatsushi":
String url = link.attr("abs:href");
System.out.println("url = " + url);
}
Shorter version:
String url = doc.select("a.sushi-restaurant").first().attr("abs:href");
Hope this helps!

Elements links = doc.select("a");
for (Element link : links) {
String attribute=link.attr("class");
if(attribute.equalsIgnoreCase("sushi-place")){
print link.href//You probably need this
}
}
