VBA unable to pull value from input or form type using getelementsby method

I have some issues to retrieve value from a form or input type. I hope that you could help me or give me some suggestions.

My computer info:

1.window 8.1

2.excel 2013

3.ie 11

My excel reference:

Microsoft Object Library: yes

Microsoft Internet Controls: yes

Microsoft Form 2.0 Object library: yes

Microsoft Script Control 1.0: yes

Expected Result:

retrieve the value "AVrO8qF_" and copy it on Cell ("c2") automatically.

Actual Result:

nothing return to Cell ("C2")

url:

http://coursesweb.net/javascript/getelementsbytagname

Below is the HTML elements.

<form rel="async" ajaxify="/plugins/like/connect" method="post" action="/plugins/like/connect" onsubmit="return window.Event &amp;&amp; Event.__inlineSubmit &amp;&amp; Event.__inlineSubmit(this,event)" id="u_0_1"> <input type="hidden" name="lsd" value="AVrO8qF_" autocomplete="off">



Below is my VBA code.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim ie As Object
Dim Doc As HTMLDocument
Dim Elements As IHTMLElementCollection
Dim Element As IHTMLElement

Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

ie.Visible = 0

ie.navigate "http://coursesweb.net/javascript/getelementsbytagname"
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until ie.readyState = 4

Set Doc = ie.document

Set Elements = Doc.getElementsByTagName("input")

For Each Element In Elements
If Element.name = "lsd" Then
Range("c2").Value = Element.value
End If
Next Element

Set Elements = Nothing

End Sub

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Hi, pexpex223,

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Use code tags around code.

Posting code between [CODE]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/CODE] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, it also maintains VBA formatting.

Highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here

Ciao,

pexpex223 has only 2 posts, why would you ban answers?

pexpex223, there is no attachment in the attachment box and you should attach a sample workbook so somebody can have something to work with.
