copied!<p>Your code will try to find an element with the class of <code>caption</code> <strong><em>within</em></strong> the element with the ID of <code>leadtxt</code>. Since you have an ID, and IDs must be unique, it would make more sense to simply use that:</p> <pre><code>$html->find('#leadtxt', 0) </code></pre> <p>The exact answer to your question would be this:</p> <pre><code>$html->find('div#leadtxt.caption', 0) </code></pre> <p>Note the lack of space - it'll find the div element with the ID of <code>leadtxt</code> and the class of <code>caption</code>. But again, this is redundant and the above approach would be better and most likely faster.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> here are some further examples as I'm not clear on exactly what you are trying to do.</p> <p>The following would find all elements which have the ID of <code>leadtxt</code> <strong>or</strong> the class of <code>caption</code>:</p> <pre><code>$html->find('#leadtxt, .caption') // OR specify the fact you only want DIV elements... $html->find('div#leadtxt, div.caption') </code></pre> <p>This would specify you want elements with ANY of the given classes (one or more):</p> <pre><code>$html->find('.classone, .classtwo, .classthree') // OR just the DIV elements with any of these classes: $html->find('div.classone, div.classtwo, div.classthree') </code></pre> <p>This would specify any elements with ALL the given classes:</p> <pre><code>$html->find('.classone.classtwo.classthree') // OR again, just DIV elements... $html->find('div.classone.classtwo.classthree') </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit 2:</strong> as you have already said, it seems Simple HTML DOM fails whenever you provide a selector which specifies multiple classes/IDs together. I can only assume that is a weakness in the library which has not yet been addressed. Its a shame, as it means it does <strong>not</strong> work with the standard CSS selectors given above, despite claiming to.</p>
