Why Jsoup cannot select td element?

Question

I have made little test (with Jsoup 1.6.1):

String s = \"\" +Jsoup.parse(\"\").select(\"td\").size();
System.out.println(\"Selected elements         


        

Answer 1

.

int size = Jsoup.parse("

").select("td").size(); System.out.println("Selected elements count : " + size);
