Rails - Jan 2007 - Problem with Hpricot and attributes

I am trying to run the following code:

require ''rubygems''
require ''hpricot''
require ''open-uri''

doc = Hpricot(open("****the url is here***"))
tables =(doc/"table")
(tables[6]/"tr").each do |major|
	name = major.search("td").first.inner_html
	abbrev =major.search("acronym").inner_html
	link = major.search("a")
	path = link.attributes[''href'']
	puts path
end

Everytime I run it, I get this error though: undefined method
`attributes'' for #<Hpricot::Elements[]> (NoMet
hodError)

Am I missing something?

#search always returns an array of elements, even if it only found one.

Use #at if you only want the first element.
