Read Input hidden tag value from url of website using Jsoup in java

Question

I am writing a Java application which tries to fetch contents from a web page. I try to write code which is given below.

When I try to fetch all links(html <a> tag) from the website my code works well, but when I try to fetch a value from input type="hidden" tag I have a problem.

 String url = "http://www.justdial.com/Bangalore/pc-repair-%3Cnear%3E-jp-nagaer";
 Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
 Elements input = doc.select("a[href]");
 System.out.print(input); 

This code works fine.. it gives all the links included in this website.. but I want the value from input type="hidden" . What to do I have to do?

If I do doc.select("input[hidden]") then result comes with a null value.

Answer 1

You should use

doc.select("input[type=hidden]")

to get the tags you want. Your proposed version will return all <input hidden=".."> tags not those with <input type="hidden"> .
