Dear All,
After searching for a financial institution such as 'HSBC' I need to click on each pdf link in the table of results, in the website below and the pic attached:
https://www.mfsa.mt/financial-services-register/?fsr=HSBC&subCat=&country=&years=&cat=
I have managed to identify the web path for the first hyperlink, and how it changes from 1 search result to another in the table. However using the Navigate stage Blue Prism is unable to click on the link, even though it can be highlighted, and is being properly identified in the Application Modeler... The Read stage can also extract the hyperlink name (not address).
After inspecting the web elements in Chrome, it seems that the 'links' are actually function calls, probably in JavaScript (image attached) rather than anchors with <a> tags...
How can I click on the links to open the pdf files please?
Thank you & Best Regards,

Sometimes when sites are scripted this way, you need to spy it out as an AA element instead. Have you tried using either that or UIA?
