I have been using Hpple to parse some html in my iphone application (iOS5.1). I have searched for all 'td' elements within a table row. I am iterating through each of these elements, and for the most part I can retrieve all the information I need from the element, e.g.
[element objectForKey:@"rowspan"];
But one of the values I need is within the td:
<tr>
<td rowspan="3"> //This is my element
<div>
<a>link text</a> //The link text is what I want
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Is there a way of getting the 'a' tags within my element, I have tried the following, but it doesn't work:
[[[element firstChild] firstChild] content];
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I figured it out... The Xcode debugger wasn't as helpful compared to some other IDEs I work with, but once I found the 'print description' option I was able to see what was going on...
I was getting an error 'Invalid CFStringRef' when I tried
[element content]
and when I tried[[element firstChild] content]
it printed "\n" which was not what I was expecting. Anyway, this is probably a really long way to get what I wanted, but this was my solution...
