This is my web page:

http://solutions.arcgis.com/water/help/water-utility-network-configuration/DataDictionary/DataDictionary/

I want to extract the text value of <div class = "agOverview agDetails spacing "> and the transformer finds the class but for some reason any Tag Part/HTML Attribute I use that's on the Property page of Google Inspector results to null. I also tried the drop down options (Whole/Value), tag #text and the result for the transformer is a feature with null value. Any ideas?

The HTMLExtractor with this setting extracts text values from all the "div" elements having "agOverview agDetails spacing" in "class" attribute value, and populates them into a list attribute.

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?
