I have a site which I want to extract the table data for all the pages

I can use the web data extraction action to extract the data on the current page but i don't know what should be the next page css selector.

Below is the code from the next and last page navigator.

Hi @GanCW,

Can you try and use the following for the UI element?

hyperlink[Name="Next"]

Hi @Expiscornovus ,
Thanks for the help. That doesn't work.

The built in pager detector uses this CSS selector which selects the selector based on the position (8th anchor) of the anchor.
div[id="ajxDspId"] > span:eq(1) > a:eq(7), html > body > table > tbody > tr:eq(1) > td > center > div:eq(1) > div > span:eq(1) > a:eq(7)

This works when the number of pages available is more than 8. However, there will be cases where the number pages will be less than 8.

Is there another position-independent CSS selector I can use ?

Thanks

I have not try this but I think the solution in this case is to use a variable for the next page anchor position and pre-compute the position before using the action.

div[id="ajxDspId"] > span:eq(1) > a:eq(%next_page%), html > body > table > tbody > tr:eq(1) > td > center > div:eq(1) > div > span:eq(1) > a:eq(%next_page%)
