VBA automation - what kind of website is this?

[Malhar]

Hi

I am trying to automate the tasks I do on a website using VBA. The site needs its users to login using a pair of username and password. I am not sure how I can go about automating my tasks here because,

1. Unlike other sites I have worked before, this site’s address bar keeps showing the same address, even when I navigate through different pages of the site. For example, the address bar keeps showing something like http://www.XYZfinancials.com/v-hom.asp ( a fake address) .
Therefore I am not able to use the typical ObjIE.navigate
method to navigate using VBA.

2. When I hover the mouse pointer on certain links on a page it at the bottom of the page it shows something like:

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

Why is this website different than a typical website?


Thanks,

Without knowing the exact URL of the site or seeing the HTML surrounding your Javascript extract, it's difficult to help. However, as a guess you would probably use the HTML Object Library to find a suitable HTML element near the Javascript and execute the Javascript to effectively click the link. I haven't done this myself, so don't know if it's even possible.

Chippy,

Thanks. The actual website is http://www.thomsononeim.com/v-hom.asp.

I don't want to share the username and password here, but I can send them to you in a private message (using this formum). Is that okey?

Thanks,

MG.
