The above got a bit scrambled,
I meant that it as much as I saw next_page can get only by Name where
[a]Name[/a]

But what if the button is an image
i.e
[a][img ...][/a]

I tried to use XPath for that but it didn’t work and hoped somebody knows before I will have to read some code,

Never easy this stuff is it... If you are using this in Rails:
Create a model in which you’re going to do Scrubyt work and add the following lines at the top of the model before your Class

require ‘gems’
require ‘Scrubyt’

Class Scraper
#your code here
end

The other stuff you might need to to do is make sure you install the gems (see scrubyt site for all the gems you need)

I had to install firewatir and hoe to make it all work. Never easy this stuff is it…

Are you using this with RoR? If so, where did you put the scrubty.rb file? In the lib folder? Is that all I need in there? Thanks.
