I tried to implement the solution provided here:

Java how to manipulate a html text element with dynamic generated name?

It worked but when I did inspect element the HTML was as is, no change was made to the page. It didn't give any error.

This is what I tried:

        gotoPage("https://www.demo.com/in/");
        Document doc = Jsoup.connect("https://www.demo.com/in/").get();
        System.out.println("Before "+doc.select("#top-menu > div > div.nav-logo > a").first());
        Element e = doc.select("#top-menu > div > div.nav-logo > a").first();
        e.attr("href", "https://demo-custom-page.net/demo/test-jsoup.html");
        System.out.println("After "+doc.select("#top-menu > div > div.nav-logo > a").first());
        Thread.sleep(120000);   // inspect element and if html changed or not

I am working on Windows 7, Java, Selenium, Maven

You can't. When you edit HTML using Jsoup the only thing modified is the document you store in doc variable. You won't see these changes in web browser.

Maybe you can do that if you create threads for "atomic" things. Some solution is to use File and FileUtils.writeStringToFile() to write in file.
