Question about HTML attributes

Question

I am parsing HTML code and need some help. Maybe it's because
I don't understand HTML code or something.
Anyways, I'm trying to get the content of an HTML element. Given the
following Java code:
     // Iterate through the elements of the HTML document.
     ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
     javax.swing.text.Element elem;
     while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {
          SimpleAttributeSet s = (SimpleAttributeSet)elem.getAttributes().getAttribute(HTML.Tag.A);
          if (s != null) {
          System.out.println(s.toString());
          System.out.println(s.getAttribute(HTML.Attribute.HREF));
          System.out.println("element: " + elem.toString());
          if (elem.getName().equals("tr")) {
          System.out.print("found TR: ");
          Enumeration e = elem.getAttributes().getAttributeNames();
          while (e.hasMoreElements())
               System.out.print(e.nextElement().toString() + " ");
          System.out.println();
I can't figure out how to parse the content from table data.
Here is my HTML code:
<TR VALIGN="top">
<TD ALIGN="left" COLSPAN="2">
<FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">KDEN 191753Z 10007KT 050V150 10SM FEW090 SCT120 SCT200 29/M01 A3004 RMK AO2
SLP087 VIRGA DSNT S-NW TCU DSNT SW T02891011 10294 20128 58007</FONT><BR>
<FONT FACE="Monospace,Courier">KDEN 191653Z VRB05KT 10SM FEW090 SCT120 SCT200 28/00 A3006 RMK AO2 SLP095 VIRGA
DSNT SW-NW T02830000</FONT><BR>
<BR>
</TD>
</TR>
The code picks out the HTML attribute "valign" for the TR element. But,
how do I get to the actual content.
What I would like is to get the string that begins with KDEN.
Any comments would be helpful.
Thanks.

Answer 1

I was able to make this work.
What I did was the following:
<code>
     // Parse the HTML.
     kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
     // Iterate through the elements of the HTML document.
     ElementIterator it = new ElementIterator(doc);
     javax.swing.text.Element elem;
     while ((elem = it.next()) != null) {          
//          System.out.println("element: " + elem.toString());
          if (elem.getName().equals("content")) {
          start = elem.getStartOffset();
          end = elem.getEndOffset();
          // System.out.println("found content: beg_offset: " + start + "end_offset: " + end);
          if ((end-start) < 4)
               continue;
          try {
               loc = doc.getText(start, 4);
          } catch (BadLocationException ex) { continue; }
          if (loc.startsWith("KDEN"))
               System.out.println(doc.getText(start, end - start));
</code>
I need to use the start and end position of the element to get
the text from the Document.
