<a ... </a> with no target URL?

I am using Vortex to crawl the website. How can I follow the link that has no obvious URL in href?

The example of the <a> link would be:
<a class="show-more">Next 100 messages</a>

thank you

That depends on how that link works. We'd need to see the entire page to see.

That uses AJAX to pull additional information into the same page, which is not currently supported.

We do not currently have a timeframe for crawling AJAX sites, as there are several issues to resolve, not least of which is what is a "page" at that point.
