The scraper popup throws the following error (see below) when clicking the 'next page' button:

Works fine when clicked manually.

Other link and element click selectors work just fine.  Unfortunatly it is behing a login screen so I can't post the actual site.  (It is http://wwwsc.ekeystone.com)

Any thoughts?  Workarounds?

Thanks.

The error is in the target page not web scraper. The extension worked as expected.

Does the server error offer any clue to suggest another way to scrape the site?  Any other techniques I might try to work around?

Thanks.
