# Work with elements the editor won't select

### How can I work with elements the editor won't select?

Sometimes, particularly when JavaScript is involved in a page's interface design, the scraper editor can't accurately select an element.

In scenarios like this, you must identify the element within the page's source code and manually enter the proper element path or selector in the **Step Panel**. The editor can display the source code under the **Elements** tab, which can be a great help to locate elements within a page.

Alternatively, your desktop Web browser can display the source code, as well as help identify elements with an **Inspect**, **Inspect Element**, or similar command, usually found in the contextual (right-click) menu.
