Re: Several things from one page

This means that if each interior text and the exterior text are children of the same parent in the HTML structure, they will be extracted to the same row even if the ...

Re: Trouble Scraping - Selection Mode Doesnt Hold
The update is ready. Easiest way to update Helium Scraper is by running it twice and letting it update the second time.

Normally, Helium Scraper will be able to figure out on which row to put each item appropriately. Make sure your Kinds are selecting the right elements. If everything is OK and the items are still not being extracted where you want them, you will probably need to use some JavaScript. If you want send...
