Currently Web Scraper can handle this kind of navigation:
- Link navigation
<a href="http://example.com">(Link Selector) - JavaScript popup navigation
window.open("http://example.com")(Popup Link Selector) - Ajax pagination when the page isn't reloaded (Element Click Selector)
There are some sites that use JavaScript to redirect to a different link or do a form submit. Web Scraper currently cannot handle this kind of site navigation.
How to detect when the site uses redirect/form submit navigation:
- Click the pagination button. If the page is being reloaded but the URL doesn't change then the site uses form submit navigation
- Click the pagination button. If the page is being reloaded and the URL changes. Right click on the button and choose inspect element. If the button isn't a link with href attribute (
<a href="http://example.com">) which contains a link then it's a redirect button.
Please post links to sites that use this kind of navigation.
