Unable to scrape these links

I cannot get past this stage of a scrape

http://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/4496/sessions/@timeSlot=Mar09/1

I don't think that these are actually links e.g.

Events and Meetings. 5001. Training Program Administrators, Day 1

etc.

Can anyone help with a solution

Use a text selector with the following value and it should pull what you need.

span.bodyTitle

Thanks for the response. It is not actually this text that I want - these are links of some form that I've been unable to get past to get to another set of links, which finally lead to abstracts (it is the text of the details of these that abstract records that I want). I haven't been able to get past this first hurdle unfortunately.

Ah, I see what you mean. Looks like this is JS app that's not using links.

You could try pulling the data-id attribute from the h4 tag and construct the URL's that way. IE .../sessions/{data-id}, but I'm not exactly how to achieve that in this tool (still very new to it myself).
