I'm having the same problem. It's not paging 'Next'.

I've uploaded an updated version of Helium Scraper. Now, when creating a Navigate action you have the "Simulate click" option. Some websites, like Amazon, require an actual click on the Next button in order to navigate. Just so that you know, this could have been done in the previous version by replacing the Navigate action for a Select Kind that selects the next button, and a Execute JavaScript action underneath with the following code:

Code: Select all

Global.Browser.Selection.GetItem(0).click();
What this does is get the first (or the only) selected item and simulate a click on it.

Anyway, I recommend updating Helium Scraper from here or by running the application and updating it when it prompt you to do so (you might need to run it twice to get the prompt). All trials and licenses will stay the same.
