End Sub GetElement in IE using VBA Interacting with objects in Internet Explorer can often be a pain. You need to identify what specific object to work with. In the above code, we are looking for the 3rd instance of “object HTMLInputElement” (an input form).

Then we enter “orksheet” into the input form (itm.value = “orksheet”), move the cursor into the input form (itm.focus), and type “w”. Typing “w” is necessary in this instance to activate the javascript used to filter the table.

There are more direct methods to selecting objects, however this method should work if all else fails. To use those other methods you will want to use the following options.

Getelementsbyname ( 'ID' ). Value = 'value' 'Find by name You can run into problems when using these methods if there are more than one element with the same name. By using a loop (as in the sample code above), you can specify which instance of the element to use. Interact with IE using VBA In the code above we use the event: Focus (itm.focus) to activate the cursor in the form. You can find more examples of Object / Element Events, Methods, and Properties here: Not all of these will work with every object / element and there may be quite a bit of trial and error when interacting with objects in IE.

Sendkeys to Internet Explorer We used the Sendkeys command in the code above. I have not tested the code but it its worderfully commented and explained. Thank you so much!

I would like to automatically fill in an online calculator, but the calculator is available after log on and a few hyperlinks. Is there a form to set and already loaded website as an object? ‘Get Window ID for IE so we can set it as activate window HWNDSrc = IE.HWND ‘Set IE as Active Window SetForegroundWindow HWNDSrc I know it must be related to this part of your code, but I am not sure how to proceed. I’m new to VBA and rusty on the old standalone VB so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions. Your first example: ‘Create InternetExplorer Object Set IE = CreateObject(“InternetExplorer.Application”) How does this get translated into the exact path to the iexplore.exe executable?

What if I wanted to use Chrome or Firefox? Would “”Firefox.Application” magically find the executable?

“‘IE ReadyState = 4 signifies the webpage has loaded (the first loop is set to avoid inadvertently skipping over the second loop) Do While IE.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop ‘Do While Do Until IE.ReadyState = 4: DoEvents: Loop ‘Do Until” How do you know that the ready state for IE is decimal 4? Where does one look that up? Would it be the same for other browsers? And what other parameters are defined for browsers and where can they be found? Thanks for a great article. Very enlightening. And I agree with you about the SendKeys.

Tried it in a macro and what a self destroying disaster it was. The object (a calculator) immediately lost focus and the macro started writing all over itself. Keeping the focus on the object looks like a major problem. Thanks Again. Hi sorry for the late reply. I’ve never tried to use Chrome or Firefox.

Internet Explorer is Microsoft software so it works well with VBA. You would use a similar method to open PowerPoint, Word, etc.

(other Microsoft software). Unless you have a good reason, I would stick to IE if you’re trying to use VBA. Every browser has “Developer Tools” or something similar that lets you dive into the code of how a website loads.

I’m not sure if you can find the ReadyState there, but there is other useful information.

Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session. Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager.

Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager. If you do not have a download manager installed, and still want to download the file(s) you've chosen, please note:.

You may not be able to download multiple files at the same time. In this case, you will have to download the files individually.

(You would have the opportunity to download individual files on the 'Thank you for downloading' page after completing your download.). Files larger than 1 GB may take much longer to download and might not download correctly. You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed. The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems. It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably. It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed.

Microsoft Download Manager is free and available for download now.
