Scraping a javascript response through beautifulsoup, possible?

The server returns the below response, it is apparantly javascript contents and I wanted to scrape it but I am unable to do it.

Element.update("to_users2", "\n\n\n<div class="label-field-pair">\n <div class="label-field-pair11">\n <label for="student_grade">Select member\n <div class ="scrolable" >\n <div class="scroll-inside">\n <div class="hover"><a href="#" class="all" onClick="add_all_recipient('2,4')">Select all Add \n\n \n \n \n <div class="hover"><a href="#" before="Element.show('loader')" class="individual" onClick="add_recipient(2)" success="Element.hide('loader')">TestUserOne Add \n\n \n \n \n <div class="hover"><a href="#" before="Element.show('loader')" class="individual" onClick="add_recipient(4)" success="Element.hide('loader')">TestUserTwo Add \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n");

Basically, I tried a number of possibilities like converting the response object into string and then replacing all \n and so on and then using the resulting html I also tried to use requests_html which nearly given me the expecting result but still not able to get the expected result. I expected to scrape the add_recipient(2) in the a tag and the a tag text TestUserOne in this case. in requests_html, I can do something like:

htm = '''Element.update("to_users2", "\n\n\n<div class="label-field-pair">\n <div class="label-field-pair11">\n <label for="student_grade">Select member\n <div class ="scrolable" >\n <div class="scroll-inside">\n <div class="hover"><a href="#" class="all" onClick="add_all_recipient('2,4')">Select all Add \n\n \n \n \n <div class="hover"><a href="#" before="Element.show('loader')" class="individual" onClick="add_recipient(2)" success="Element.hide('loader')">TestUserOne Add \n\n \n \n \n <div class="hover"><a href="#" before="Element.show('loader')" class="individual" onClick="add_recipient(4)" success="Element.hide('loader')">TestUserTwo Add \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n");'''

html = HTML(html=htm)
print(html.find('a'))

and it gives the output

<Element 'a' href='\\"#\\"' before='\\"Element.show(\'loader\')\\"' class=('\\"individual\\"',) onclick='\\"add_recipient(4)\\"' success='\\"Element.hide(\'loader\')\\"'>,

Here I wanted to scrape the onclick value and hence get the a tag text like TestUserOne Add in this context.

where to from here? tried all possibilities but nothing avail. any help would be appreciated.

Prop `className` did not match in next js app

I have written a sample code ( Github Link here ). this is a simple next js app, but giving me error when I refresh the page. This seems to be the common problem and I tried the fix provided in the internet but does not seem to fix my issue. The error is Warning: Prop className did not match. Server: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-1" Client: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-2". Did changes for _document.js, modified _app.js as mentioned in official website and solutions in stackoverflow. but nothing seems to work. Could someone take a look and help me whats wrong with the code? Via Active questions tagged javascript - Stack Overflow https://ift.tt/2FdjaAW
