jsoup select elements

Question

I'm trying to scrape a website for data using jsoup. But having some problems with getting some text.

Part of the html looks like this

<p class="time">9:00</p>

which i can grab fine using the line of code:

Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
doc.select("p.time").text());

but the next bit of html looks like this:

<p class="date"><strong>FRIDAY 27<sup>th</sup></strong> JULY 2012</p>

Which i'm not sure how to get. Using the line:

doc.select("p.date").text());

just gets me an empty string. I've tried variations of that (ie selecting "p.date" and then try date.select("strong")) but just keep coming up with a empty strings.

how do I go about getting that date text?

Unable to reproduce your problem.

Document doc = Jsoup.parse("<html><body><p class=\"date\"><strong>FRIDAY 27<sup>th</sup></strong> JULY 2012</p></body></html>");
String s = doc.select("p.date").text();
System.out.println(s);

This prints: "FRIDAY 27th JULY 2012"
