CSS selectors cannot extract attributes. You can try to extract the node and the child node in two passes. It seems that Scrappy uses Web::Scraper, so maybe learning about how to do things using Web::Scraper will help you. I would guess that the `->focus` method will allow you to select a node and its child nodes, and then you can select the link together with the `img` tag.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Based on the Scrappy synopsis you might use `$scraper->crawl( 'http://www.example.com/page', '/page' => { 'div p a' => sub { print $_[1]->{href}, "\n"; }, 'div p img' => sub { print $_[1]->{src}, "\n"; } } );` [download] the selectors are made in turn, not that useful Scrappy::Scraper::Parser further convinces me Scrappy has too much Pee. Pure Web::Scraper looks simpler to manage Read more... (6 kB)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
