JSOUP生成CSS路径和空格

Question

I am trying to get css path of element from JSOUP document. This elemnt looks like this:

<div class="column" id="
                        datagrid147">
          <div>
            //Other data
          </div>
</div>

Problem is whitespace in ID, when I get css selector from JSOUP element, it contains whitespace therefore is incorrect and when I remove whitespace, selector will not work for that element. So how to get correct css selector for element defined like this in JSOUP ?

Answer 1

Proper solution would most likely involve cleaning attributes first (maybe with trim() method), then selecting elements.

But way around could be using [attr~=regex] selector, which in your case could look like div[id~=^\\\\s+datagrid147$] .

Another way could be using [attr$=value] where attribute attr ends with specified value like div[id$=datagrid147]
