I'm parsing a webpage. But I have a problem with it.
What is the #documnet?
And how can I parse <html> below #document using Jsoup?

And how can I parse below #document using Jsoup?

You can see #document as a "virtual" element. Jsoup won't see it. It is not present in the actual HTML code neither.

What you want is fetching the frames with Jsoup. See below:

Document doc = ...; // HTML page containing the frameset

Document mainFrameDocument = Jsoup.connect(doc.select("frame[name=main]").absUrl("src")).get();

Document rightFrameDocument = Jsoup.connect(doc.select("frame[name=right]").absUrl("src")).get();
