Scrolling down a web page using VBA

[M G]

Hi,

I wish to be able to do the following things on a web page inside an Internet Explorer instance.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance on that.

1. Scroll down or right on the page
2. Go to a specific location on the web page (say at a word or phrase), scrolling down, up, right or left. I want the focus of the window at that location.

I am using the following code to open a specific webpage. The IE window does NOT open in the maximized form. I want the page to automatically scroll down to the RATES section on the page.

VBA code:

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = 1
IE.Navigate "http://finance.yahoo.com/?
Do While IE.Busy: DoEvents: Loop


Thanks,

MG.

When you want this type of stuff it's best to start searching for javascript
snippets you can convert to VBA

This worked for me (but not consistently without the Wait line...)
