jSoup get title from img tag

Question

I have a scenario where I need to pull the title from a img tag like below.

<img alt="Bear" border="0" src="/images/teddy/5433.gif" title="Bear"/>

I was able to get the image url. But how do i get the title from the img tag. From above title = "bear". I want to extract this.

Answer 1

Use Element#attr() to extract arbitrary element attributes.

Element img = selectItSomehow();
String title = img.attr("title");
// ...

Answer 2

String html = "<img alt='Bear' border='0' src='/images/teddy/5433.gif' title='Bear'/>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element e = doc.select("img[title]").first();
String title = e.attr("title");
System.out.println(title);
