I am trying to extract all the hyperlinks which contains"http://www.bursamalaysia.com/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/" from the webpages I input.
Firstly, the code ran well but after then I am facing the problems which I could not extract the url link that I needed. It just missing every time i run the sub.

Just to get the qualifying hrefs that you mention from the URL given I would use the following. It uses a CSS selector combination to target the URLs of interest from the specified page.
The CSS selector combination is
#bm_ajax_container [href^='/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/']
This is a descendant selector looking for elements with attribute href whose value starts with /market/listed-companies/company-announcements/, and having a parent element with id of bm_ajax_container. That parent element is the ajax container div. The "#" is an id selector and the "[] " indicates an attribute selector. The "^" means starts with.
Example of container div and first matching href:
As more than one element is to be matched the CSS selector combination is applied via querySelectorAll method. This returns a nodeList whose .Length can be traversed to access individual items by index.
The full set of qualifying links are written out to the worksheet.
Example CSS query results from page using selector (sample):
VBA:

Set links = .document.querySelectorAll("#bm_ajax_container [href^='/market/listed-companies/company-announcements/']")
For i = 0 To links.Length - 1
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Cells(i + 1, 1) = links.item(i)

I'm trying to write a simple code for studying vocabulary and want this code to look up the words in column "A" using my favorite online dictionary "Cambridge" automatically and then print the definitions to the cells next to the words. I have written the code below so far and it goes to the site and searches the word. The question is what code is needed to get the definitions and print them to the cells?
Sub SearchWords()
Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Dim HTMLInput As MSHTML.IHTMLElement
Dim HTMLButtons As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection

IE.Navigate "www.dictionary.cambridge.org"
Do While IE.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
Loop
Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document
Set HTMLInput = HTMLDoc.getElementById("cdo-search-input")
HTMLInput.Value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value
Set HTMLButtons = HTMLDoc.getElementsByClassName("cdo-search__button")
HTMLButtons(0).Click
End Sub
Thanks in advance.
The result appears to be in an element with classname entry. I read your column A search words in to an array and loop that to look up each word. The result is written back out to the sheet. I use css selectors mostly as a more flexible and faster method for selecting elements. css selectors, in this instance, are applied via querySelector method of HTMLDocument (i.e. ie.Document)
Proper page loads waits are used throughout.

Done! Perfectly working. (Since this post is too long for a comment, I had to post this as an answer) Now I am trying to get some more data from the page(since I need the other explanations and Turkish definitions as well). When I inspect the page, I see that full descriptions are placed in "di $ entry-body__el entry-body__el--smalltop clrd js-share-holder" class. I added "/turkish" to the URL and tried to get the related element using the class name I mentioned instead of ".def-block", but it didn't work. Then I tried a different way using this code:
Sub GetMeaningsFromCambridgeDictionary()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Meanings")
Dim sourceWord As String
sourceWord = ws.Range("A2").Value
Dim i As Integer
Dim çeviri As String
Dim ilkSatir As Integer
ilkSatir = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row + 1
Dim IE As Object
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
Dim URL As String
Dim countElement As Integer
Range("B2:B1000").Delete
IE.Visible = False
URL = "https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/turkish/" & sourceWord
IE.Navigate URL
Do While IE.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
Do While IE.readyState <> 4
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))
Loop
countElement = IE.document.getElementsByClassName("di $ entry-body__el entry-body__el--smalltop clrd js-share-holder").Length
For i = 0 To countElement - 1
çeviri = IE.document.getElementsByClassName("di $ entry-body__el entry-body__el--smalltop clrd js-share-holder")(i).innerText
Range("B" & i + 2).Value = çeviri
Range("B" & i + 2).Rows.AutoFit
Next i
Columns(2).AutoFit
IE.Quit
MsgBox "All meanings have been copied."
End Sub
This code is also working, and I see all the definitions in detail, but this time the problem is only the first word is done. What should I do to do the same thing for the other words?
Day two of researching this. I'm just not getting it. The web page is public:

This selector, [href*=FirmIndiv], is an attribute = value selector with contains (*) modifier. It looks for the matches for href attributes that contain the substring FirmIndiv in the href value. querySelector all method of HTMLDocument *(ie.Document) will return the first match found.
You can see the match here:
The selector for the option tag element (the parent select tag for result counts contains child option tag elements):
#IndividualSearchResults_length [value='500']
It uses an id (#) selector to target the div parent, of the parent select element, by its id value IndividualSearchResults_length, then uses a descendant combinator (" ") followed by attribute = value selector to specify the option element with value = 500.
You can see that here:

You can use a CSS selector combination to get the elements. If you provide the actual HTML, not as an image it will be easier to test and determine best combination. The selector is applied via the querySelectorAll method to return a nodeList of all matching elements. You traverse the .Length of the nodeList to access items by index from 0 to .Length-1.
VBA:
Dim aNodeList As Object, i As Long
Set aNodeList = ie.document.querySelectorAll("._1oem[href]")
For i = 0 To aNodeList.Length-1
Activesheet.Cells(i + 2,4) = aNodeList.item(i)
Next
The css selector combination is ._1oem[href], which selects the href attributes of elements with a class of _1oem. The "." is a class selector and the [] an attribute selector. It is a fast and robust method.
The above assumes there are no parent form/frame/iframe tags to negotiate.
An alternative selector that matches on the two attributes, rather than the class would be:
html.querySelectorAll("[data-testid='marketplace_feed_item'][href]")
Full example:
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetInfo()
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer
With IE
.Visible = True
.navigate "https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/vancouver/entertainment"
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
Dim aNodeList As Object, i As Long
Set aNodeList = IE.document.querySelectorAll("._1oem[href]")
For i = 0 To aNodeList.Length - 1
ActiveSheet.Cells(i + 2, 4) = aNodeList.item(i)
Next
'Quit '<== Remember to quit application

I'm trying to check if the html tag:
<nobr>Target</nobr>
exists on the page, and if it does, search for the text between the html tag:
<div style='width: 555px; -ms-overflow-x: auto; -ms-overflow-y: hidden;> ... </div>
The text between the div tags look messy like:
ABC [HSA:
...
] [KO:
...
]
<br />
GHI-JK [JKI:
...
And I want to get and print to my spreadsheet however many items there are, but I only want the item name (in the above example, there're 2 items - ABC and GHI-JK).
Of course my code below doesn't work., I don't think I'm using queryselector correctly and I'm also not sure how to only grab the item names, instead of the entirety between the tags
If IE.document.querySelector("nobr").innerHTML = "Target" Then
If IE.document.querySelector("div[style^='width: 555px; -ms-overflow-x: auto; -ms-overflow-y: hidden;']") <> 0 Then
Cells(1, 15).Value = IE.document.querySelector("div[style^='width: 555px; -ms-overflow-x: auto; -ms-overflow-y: hidden;']").innerText
End If
End If
CSS selector:
You can use a CSS selector combination to target the element of interest.
The data is in a div, that is inside an element with class td51.
You can write a CSS selector combination to target this pattern of:
.td51 div
This says elements with div tag whose parent is td51 class. Where "." is a class selector.
The element space element pattern is known as a descendant combinator.
CSS query results:
This pattern matches multiple elements and you want the item as index 6.
As multiple items are retrieved you use the querySelectorAll to apply the CSS combinator and retrieve a nodeList you index into to get the item of interest.
As you only want part of the information retrieved you can use split to "slice" out the required info. Note that Kit is not Kit alone but is Kit (CD117).

General:
I think in your research you may have come across this question and misunderstood how it relates/doesn't relate to your circumstance.
I don't think iFrames are relevant to your query. If you are after the list of names, their details and the URLs to their pages you can use the code below.
CSS Selectors
To target the elements of interest I use the following two CSS selectors. These use style infomation on the page to target the elements:
.SearchResults-link
.SearchResults-item
"." means class, which is like saying .getElementsByClassName. The first gets the links, and the second gets the description information on the first page.
With respect to the first CSS selector: The actual link required is dynamically constructed, but we can use the fact that the actual profile URLs have a common base string of "https://www.xing.com/profile/", which is then followed by the profileName. So, in function GetURL, we parse the outerHTML returned by the CSS selector to get the profileName and concatenate it with the BASESTRING constant to get our actual profile link.
Code:
Option Explicit
Public Sub GetInfo()
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer
With IE
.Visible = True
.navigate "https://www.xing.com/publicsearch/query?search%5Bq%5D=IT"
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend

Set linksNodeList = .document.querySelectorAll(".SearchResults-link") '<== comment this out if uncommented section above
Set profileNodeList = .document.querySelectorAll(".SearchResults-item")
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To profileNodeList.Length - 1
Debug.Print "Profile link: " & GetURL(linksNodeList.item(i).outerHTML)
Debug.Print "Basic info: " & profileNodeList.item(i).innerText
Next i
End With
End Sub
Public Function GetURL(ByVal htmlSection As String) As String
