Hi guys

this is my first question here, hope you see me often from now on.

I was using a code today, and it was running perfectly this morning - And now, i get "RUN-TIME ERROR '438': Object doesn't support this property or method"
the error occurs on this line of code:

For ClassName you'd need reference to the external library.

This is one of the quirk in HTML library. getElement(s)Byxxxx can misbehave except for TagName, ID.

Here's sample code I posted in another forum.

In VBE, go to Tools->References. And add Microsoft HTML Object library and Microsoft Internet Controls library to your project.
This will ensure that you can access all the available methods (though there are few minor quirks even when library is added, such as when writing to HTMLFile object).

Note: Looks like some spaces got removed when I copied and pasted. I think I fixed it, but may have missed some.
