Thank you ËÎer,
Thank you Dan,

that did the trick. However, I couldn't find anything about
Hpricot::Elem in the official rdoc:

http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/doc/hpricot/

After you told me about it, I could find the helpful "name" method
with

puts doc.search("[1]").first.methods.sort

¥èmer and Dan, how did you find out about the methods of Hpricot::Elem
and "name", in particular?

Kind regards,

Rainer
