Posted on by KoloBonus

I'm trying to get the URL of the highlighted link, however when either extracting or getting details of the web or element I can only select the box the URL is in and there is no details of the URL.

Many Thanks

Try right-clicking it in the browser and selecting Inspect, to view the selector in the browser developer tools. Then modify your extraction based on the selector. You might be trying to extract it from the wrong element.

If you're not sure how to modify it, share screenshots of what the element looks like when inspected via the browser developer tools, and also a screenshot of the selector you're using in either Extract data from web page or Get details of element in web page, and we might be able to help you.

Hi

Yes, it doesn't contain the link address or anything resembling the link. I can use OCR to right click on it and copy the link or open another tab but wonder if there is a trick to get it in a cleaner way.

Thanks

It will be better if you share the url that you have question with.

I've tried this one (inspect) and extract data won't show the link address. when it comes to getting details of the element (this page opens in new tab and get details uses original %browser% data, it doesn't work either (showing basic info about the element (which is the box) but not specifying any data inside it (like the link). given the time spent on it I went for a bit of a work around by using OCR to right click on the link and then "for each" saving that copied link using clipboard (as variable) and filing relevant data table field. (mind I have circa 1000 to check and copy a link.
