search for: len_link

...one of the links may display a pop up window on top of that link's web page.  If there is a pop up, the routine bombs and I get an error message that the url doesn't exist. Does the XML package (or perhaps another package) provide a way to deal with this issue? I've tried: for(i in 1:len_links) { . . . cc <- try(htmlParse(xurl), silent=T) if(is(cc,"try-error")) {next}    docc <- htmlParse(xurl) . . . } That doesn't work.  Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
