2 Issues with Zotero Connector / Zotero 7

Please excuse if this has already been reported.

1. When importing certain Websites with connector, what has once been tables doesn't appear as such after the import. This happens e.g. with the musicology encyclopedia MGG Online: https://www.mgg-online.com/ Screenshot and code of the tables below. IN Zotero it's just text line after line as the table was never there.

2. When importing other certain websites the scrollbar in Zotero 7 isn't there. I double checked with other Websites, and I can only reproduce it with german newspaper ZEIT ONLINE: e.g. https://www.zeit.de/2024/24/wirtschaftlicher-fortschritt-wachstum-ideal-entwicklung

    Can you provide a specific link to mgg-online with a table?

    Umfortuately the access is restricted to a University Account. I could save it somehow but I dont wanna upload something copyright protected publicly here – should I send it to your or something?

    I assume it's not a Zotero-speficic problem because when I download the the file manually – it's an xml-file – and open it with a browser, I got the same problem. might it have something to to with every html-tag including an xml-id? dunno

    Leave me a contact and I'll send it to you

    We won't be able to troubleshoot this without access, although you may be able to find an open-access article on the website with a table that we could also take a look at. Generally, Zotero snapshots will not include any page content that is included in iframes. Iframes are usually used for ads and other unwanted and heavy size content, which is why they are excluded, but sometimes website developers include genuine website content in iframes, which is most likely the case with this table. We recommend saving that information differently, like attaching a screenshot of the table to the item in Zotero.
