I need to click a specific button, but I cant figure out how...
Heres the code for the button from the webpage:
<input type="image" src="images/search2.png" onmouseover="this.src='images/search2hi.png'" onmouseout="this.src='images/search2.png'" onclick="showCarrier(document.getElementById('small').value, document.getElementById('large').value);return false"/>
How do I click this button?
I've already tried
For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("image")
element.InvokeMember("click")
Next
But it clicks an ad instead. Any tips?
You are probably clicking the only first link with your code as your browser will navigate away from the page on the first click.
You could try the following (not tested):
For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("image")
dim src as String = element.GetAttribute("src")
If src isnot nothing andalso sec.EndsWith("images/search2.png") Then
element.InvokeMember("click")
end if
Next
It will search the element identified by the image it displays.

I'm creating an automation that will go through almost 110 pages with VBA. These pages have identical layout. I would need to go from one page to another automatically by "clicking" next button. At the very end of every page, there is a "button" (list anchor) that says "Next page". Problem is that the source code does not contain ID which would make it easy to refer with:
getElementById("id").Click
I open browser. That works fine. and I've tried something like this but it doesn't work:
Dim ieDoc As Object
Dim links As Object
Dim link As Object
Set ieDoc = ieApp.Document
Set links = ieDoc.Anchors
For Each link In links
If link.innerHTML = "innerHTML" Then
link.Click
Exit For
End If
Next link
I have tried almost everything I could find from stackoverflow but nothing worked for my needs.
THis is the source code of the "Next button" that I'm trying to click:
<li class="pager-next"><a title="Next page" href="/fi/tyosuhde- edut/kayttokohdehakupage=1&service_type=lunch&keywords=&city=&service=&service_areas=&payment_method=&municipality=&service_coupon_code=&items_per_page=50">seuraava ›</a></li>
I quess the problem is that the ClassName is in "li" and not in "a"?
Could some help me??
EDIT
Found a workaround!!:
Set pages = doc.getElementsByTagName("a")
For Each page In pages
If (page.getAttribute("title") = "Siirry seuraavalle sivulle") Then
page.Click
End If
Next page
You will need to keep reseting the html document with each refresh.
After a refresh try
ieApp.document.querySelector("a[title=""Next page""]").Click
CSS Selector
More info about CSS Selectors: CSS selectors
EDIT:
In your case the actual HTML selector is
appIE.doc.querySelector("a[title = ""Siirry seuraavalle sivulle""]").Click
Note there is no space after the "a" and you will need to leave enough time between clicks to allow the new page to load.
I'm trying to add a text box whenever a user presses a certain button.
The text box is being successfully added the first time the user presses on that button. However, nothing is getting added when pressing the button again.
My code is:
Html:
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnAdd" Text="Add" CssClass="button"/>
<div id="divAdd" runat="server" > </div>
Code Behind:
Private Sub btnAdd_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click
Dim textbox As New TextBox
textbox.Text = "test"
divAdd.Controls.Add(textbox)
End Sub
Is there a way to add the text box to the same div every time the btnAdd button is pressed?
Note: Without using a for loop
Because of complete post back previous created button goes and you only see the newly created
I'm trying to automate a webbrowser control. I've actually been working on this on and off for a few years and around a year ago this was working fine! I use the following code to click a button in the web browser control programatically;
element = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("gogogo")
If element IsNot Nothing Then
element.InvokeMember("Click")
End If
Now it clicks the same button every time I run the code (some of the other elements change but this is irrespective of the button). Half the time it works fine, no problems - the other half the time it seems to do nothing... I've tried editing the code to;
element = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("gogogo")
If element IsNot Nothing Then
element.InvokeMember("Submit")
End If
And even tried having both Submit and Click called one after another to no avail. Has something changed with webbrowser controls in the last year or so? Is there a more robust way of clicking buttons?
Here's the HTML element of the button;
<input id="gogogo" style="margin-bottom: 5px" class="gogogo btn btn-attack" name="submit" type="submit" onload="this.disabled=false;" value="Send attack">
I am trying to click a button within a table on a webpage within IE, the source of the button shows:
<input type="image" src="img/testimg.png" onclick="picture_return(this,'92b84574a336a090618f151b6fc821cf:5','http://testwebpage.com/in/834');" value="Test Web Button">
This is a part of a large table with multiple <td> within the source, this is within another table which is then within the following class:
<div class="section_client_dnBox">
I tried to go through a few of the items within the class by using the following VBA code:
IE.Document.getElementsByClassName("section_client_dnBox")(0).Click
However, had no luck as (0) didn't press anything and anything larger ie, (1) gave me an error. So my question now is basically, is there any way of clicking the button using something simple such as reffering to it's value within the table (value="Test Web Button")?
From my experience, you need to look at the tag name rather than the class name. This is an example of the code I generally use when finding buttons.
For Each MyHTML_Element In document.getElementsByTagName("input")
If MyHTML_Element.Type = "submit" Then
MyHTML_Element.Click: Exit For
End If
Next
You might be able to change the . type to = "image". I too am just learning how to use IE automation in VBA so I am not a champ at it either. I hope that helps.
CSS selector:
It is far simpler to use a CSS selector of input[value='Test Web Button']. No loop required.
It says get element with input tag having attribute value having value = 'Test Web Button'. "[]" means attribute.
.querySelector method of document is how you apply the selector.
CSS query:
VBA:
ie.document.querySelector("input[value='Test Web Button']").Click
I am making a program that finds the source URL of a video from the website, www.clicktoview.org. I can download the captcha it requires, and display it, but I can't solve it with the user's input because the text box on the website doesn't have a value="" attribute.
Here is the relevant part of the HTML code:
<input type="text" id="recaptcha_response_field" name="recaptcha_response_field">
With this hindrance, is there any way I can input the user's captcha interpretation to the text field?
My code would be
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("recaptcha_response_field").SetAttribute("value", TextBox2.Text)
but there isn't a value attribute.
N.B. The website is http://clicktoview.org/jbs2xyb89uai
Thanks for any help!
There isn't anything wrong with your code.
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("recaptcha_response_field").SetAttribute("value",
TextBox2.Text)
should do what you want.
Even if a htmlElement doens't have a written value="" field you could still set it.
Have you checked to see that the GetElementById("recaptcha_response_field") returns a valid htmlElement?
Dim htmlElement As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("recaptcha_response_field")
If htmlElement IsNot Nothing Then
htmlElement.SetAttribute("value",TextBox2.Text)
End If
