Unable to select some items using the Extract data from web page action

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jagster 40

Items seem to be nested or blocked by a higher lever <div> tag and when using the selector some of the items on the screen are not selectable. Here is an image showing the main object (the Anchor) is selectable, but regardless of where I place the curser within the main Anchor area, other than the section circled in green, the selection area never changes. So I can't tell it to grab the "popular pick", the price, the rating, etc (the items circled in red). If I use the browser dev tools I can get the xpath for those items but I don't know how to utilize the gathered xpath to adjust the parameters with the extract action. Thoughts? The URL I'm using, if you want to check, is https://www.walmart.com/browse/auto-tires/21555r17-tires/91083_1077064_8595272_1630658?facet=retailer_type%3AWalmart%7C%7Cbrand%3AContinental%7C%7Cbrand%3AKumho%7C%7Cbrand%3ANexen%7C%7Cbrand%3AFalken%7C%7Cbrand%3ABridgestone%7C%7Cbrand%3AMichelin

    Hey @Jagster 

    Sometimes I have also faced this issue so in that time restart the Power Automate and Machine then try once.

     

    Hope it will work!

    Hey @Jagster 

     

    Use the Add UI element and capture the UI element there. It is available for extraction, please see screenshots. Once you have the element found, you can interact with it. Please see attached pictures. Let me know if you still got issues. 2.png1.png3.png

    Hi Mathias. I have tried that way also but I still am only able to select the "Anchor", which is the whole box for all the info displayed about a tire, and not the <span> item as shown in the dev tools element picker. I can't tell for sure but it looks like yours also selected only the Anchor.
