ProHTML Parsing
Feb 12th, 2007, 8:22pm  
I'm using proHTML to do some data collecting for a visualization.  I got the 'getImageLink' stuff down to pull down images, but now I am a bit stuck on how to get the "http://www.blah.com" out of the following element "whatever" element... possible?

<a href="http://www.blah.com" id="whatever">ummmm</a>


Many thanks!

i don't really know proHTML, but this should do the job i guess:

http://www.texone.org/prohtml/htmlelement_method_getattribute.htm
or
http://www.texone.org/prohtml/standaloneelement_method_getattribute.htm

String href = YourElement.getAttribute("href");

Actually, I think I could use getLinks... but the demo code breaks at:

ArrayList links = htmlList.getLinks();

The type of the right sub-expression, "java.util.List", is not assignable to the variable, of type "java.util.ArrayList".

Anyone know if anything changed in Processing where this would break?  I assume it worked at one point?  Getting in touch with texone hasn't been succesful...

Many thanks...

I've not tried proHTML, but you could try:

ArrayList links=new ArrayList(htmlList.getLinks());

or just try:

java.util.List links = htmlList.getLinks();

works with the "HtmlList_getLinks" example.
