Jsoup - get the action of a form

Question

Basically, I have a form.

<form id="frm1" action="random.php" >
<input ... />
<input ... type=hidden name=id value=random_number />
</form>

I need to get the two random values. The action and the hidden value called id. The id of the form does not change. It is always frm1. I am totally confused on how to do this. I can select the form but don't know what to do from there.

Hoping for help. Thanks

If you haven't already you should look at this http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/dom-navigation

There's a method on Element called attr(String key) In your case formElement.attr("action") should return "random.php"

To get the second random number, if there is not an id on the element, you can use formElement.children() and just iterate the child elements looking for whatever qualifiers you want and pull out the value attribute.
