VB to Press Web page button.

[Tortus]

Is there a way to press 1 button on a webpage using VB.

I know how to use follow hyperlink, but unsure about how to create the same actions as pressing a button on the page.

I'm attempting to automate actions for a user. I can do this all the way to the hyperlink. If I could figure out a way to press this button... the user wouldn't need to do anything!!

Good afternoon Tortus

It can be done, but it's not easy. There is a tutorial here, but before you go rushing off, just be aware that :
The ease of use rating is "Hard"
The additional note on the website reads:

This code requires you to know the control names of the username and password fields, and the submit button. This information is available in the source code of the login page of any website, but you must find it. A good starting place is to look for the keyword "name".

If any of this scares you then you might be better off thinking of workarounds.

What about mimic 4 Tabs and then 1 Enter? That would press the button... but is it possible to mimic key strokes after the web page is open?.. hmmm
