Can't Select a WebUI Element/Link in a Nav Header

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I'm running through the PL500 training and am on the Exercise - Extract stocks from MSN section, it appears that the MSN Web page has been updated since the writing of the Training.

I am trying to select the 'Companies & Markets' link within the Nav Header on the home page, but when attempting to select the UI Element, the Element Selector is only detecting the Header bar itself and not the links within it.  I have tried amending the selector to select the link by it's ID which is 'finance-markets' but it cannot be detected this way.

Can you advise how to create the selector in this instance?  Why doesn't the Element Selector detect the Links within the Nav Bar - when they can easily be detected through the Dev Tools in Edge?

Below is a screenshot of the Web Page with the UI Selector Active - as you can see the Red highlighter only picks up the Nav Bar, not the links within it - the Dev tools are also open so you can see the element I have tried to select.

If I use this as my selection, the generated Element path in the UI Elements is 

div[Id="root"] > div > div > div > div > div > msn-verticals-header
