h1. FAQ

h2. Can I specify more than one selector (to match different things on a single page)
4 1 Luke Murphey
5 1 Luke Murphey
Yes, enter multiple selectors separated by commas. To match both span and div tags, you would enter a selector of "span,div".

h2. Can I use attributes to set the field names?
8 1 Luke Murphey

You can use the "Name Attributes" option on the Output section to tell the app to use attribute values as the field name.

For example, consider the following HTML:
12 1 Luke Murphey
13 1 Luke Murphey
<pre>
14 1 Luke Murphey
<div id="model">Focus</div>
15 1 Luke Murphey
<div name="submodel">ST</div>
16 1 Luke Murphey
<div name="make" id="car">Ford</div>
17 1 Luke Murphey
</pre>

Assuming you have the CSS selector set such that it matches all "div" tags, you would get the following output:
20 1 Luke Murphey
21 2 Luke Murphey
    match=Focus match=ST match=Ford
22 2 Luke Murphey
23 2 Luke Murphey
The matches do not distinguish which div tag was set (cannot tell which field is the model, submodel or make). If the setting of the name attributes is "name", then the app would look for the "name" attribute and use that as the name. This results in:
24 2 Luke Murphey
25 2 Luke Murphey
    match=Focus submodel=ST make=Ford
26 2 Luke Murphey
27 2 Luke Murphey
You can use multiple names too. In the example above, it makes sense to use "id" too. This can be done by setting the name attributes to "name,id", This would cause the following output with the example above:
28 2 Luke Murphey
29 2 Luke Murphey
    model=Focus submodel=ST make=Ford
30 2 Luke Murphey
31 2 Luke Murphey
Now, the fields have names that distinguish what they are. 
32 2 Luke Murphey
33 2 Luke Murphey
Note that it uses the first match it finds. That means it will look for "name" first and then "id" when the setting is "name,id".
