I am using excel vba to access our intranet site.
I am entering login id and password thru vba.

Now I need to click a button on the same page but no matter what I do,
I failed and need your help.

I need to click (programetically by vba) on the view button which in
turn launch a java function of the html source.


here is the vba code I assambled.

Sub IE_NCC_ICC()
Dim MYURL As String

'Dim IE As SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim ie As InternetExplorer
Dim ipf As Object

' Open Internet Explorer application
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")


With ie
..Visible = True
..Navigate ("http://10.10.10.10:8000/vms/jsp/ChangeBatchStatus.jsp")


' Loop until the page is fully loaded
Do Until .ReadyState = 4
DoEvents
Loop
Do Until ie.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Loop
Do Until ie.ReadyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
If InStr(1, ie.StatusText, "Done") _
> 0 Then Exit Do
Loop

'*** HTML SOURCE CODE
'RADIO BUTTON ALL VOUCHERS name="radRange" checked
onClick="displayVouchers();
' name="radRange" value="Selected"
onClick="displayVouchers();
'FROM name="txtFrom"
'TO name="txtTo"
'VIEW <INPUT TYPE="button" name="Submit" value=" View "
onClick="nextPage();">
'UPDATE <INPUT TYPE="button" name="Submit" value=" Update "
onClick="changeActive();">


Dim els As Object, e As Object, opt As Object
Set els = ie.Document.getElementsByName("radRange")
For Each e In els
If e.Type = "radio" And e.Value = "Selected" Then
e.Checked = True
Debug.Print "Checked option: '" & e.Value & "'"
Exit For
End If
Next e

Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("cboBatchNumber")
ipf.Value = "52585"
Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("cboStatus")
ipf.Value = 1 '"ACTIVE"
Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("txtFrom")
ipf.Value = "300"
Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("txtTo")
ipf.Value = "49"

' *** THIS IS THE PROBLEM AREA


'.Item("radRange").Value("Selected") = Checked
'ie.Document.Item("radRange").Value("Selected") = Checked
'Set ie.Document.Item("radRange").Value = "Selected"
'Set ipf = ie.Document.all.Item("radRange")

End With

End Sub

Hi Madiya

The code below might help you out. The first way would be to select
the element by the ID or Name and then click which is great if you are
working with a button or a set control that is always the same. You
can also run a loop through the links on the page until you find the
one you are looking for and then click it, this is a little more messy
but it will work if you need to click on a link that is controlled by
javascript etc.

example 1

ie.document.all.Item("btnlogin").Click

'View the web source code to get the ID or Name of the control then
put it inside the quotations in the brackets.

example 2

For Each Lnk In ie.Document.Links

'Debug.Print Mid(Lnk.outerHTML, 10)

If Mid(Lnk.outerHTML, 10, 6) = "Submit" Then

Lnk.Click

End If

Next

'You can change the parameters of the Mid to use more or less of the
links HTML and of course it doesn't have to be the word submit you
look for, the debug line can be used to display the different HTML
links in the immediate window.

Hope this helps you out

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help.
When I tried ie.document.all.Item("btnlogin").Click
1. with value " View ", I got "object variable or with block
variable not set" error.
2. with name "Submit", I got "Object doesn't support this property
or method" error.
I substitute btnlogin with " View " and "Submit".

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Madiya

Hi Madiya

If you view the source code for the web page you should be able to
find the ID to the button, the HTML below is from an intranet site
that holds a basic login form that requires a user name and password,
then a button click to start the login with the data given or to reset
the form.

<form name="login" method="POST" action="/Basic/login.asp">
<p>Username:
<input name="txtUserName" type="text" id="txtUserName" size="10"
maxlength="10">
</p>
<p>Password:
<input name="txtPassword" type="password" id="txtPassword" size="10"
maxlength="10">
</p>
<p>
<input type="reset" name="Reset" value="Reset">
<input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit" value="Submit">

in this case if i wanted to automatically control this page i would
set an object for the things i need, one for the Username and password
and one for the button, i can set the object to reference an item on
the web page by setting the object to the ID of the webpage
control ...

Set MyObject = ie.document.all.Item("txtPassword")

then i can use that control

MyObject.value="drowssap"

as for the buttons i don't need to set them to an object but i do
however need to call them by the correct ID

ie.document.all.Item("Submit").click 'Where Submit is the button ID
taken from the HTML code.

however you need to remember to clean up after yourself if you are
creating and setting objects, when you are done with them set them
back to nothing. I normally do this at the end of the function or sub
so i always know where to look to see if they have been reset...

Set NameCbo = Nothing
Set PsWord = Nothing
Set Ref = Nothing
Set InstLnk = Nothing
Set Lnk = Nothing

I hope this clears things up for a you a bit but if not let me know
and i shall see what i can come up with.

When trying to get a handle on objects on a web page, I've used the
Mouseover DOM Inspector at
http://slayeroffice.com/tools/modi/v2.0/modi_help.html
It's a bookmarklet that allows you to mouse over any object on a web
page - frame, button, link, whatever - and will show you all the
available attributes. You can often get the name, the ID number, the
container frame, and other information.
