How do you fire HTML events using Excel to automate IE?
Use .Navigate Javascript......
to fire that event if it uses java script.

Hi,
I'm trying to automate a web form-filling process by using Excel to
control
IE, similar to the way discussed in the most helpful "Web Browser
Question"
thread found he
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...xp=&sloc=en-us
The website has 2 combo/dropdown boxes called "Name" and the 2nd
called
"Type". In all cases, I would like to set the "Type" to 'Other'.
The problem is that the value of Type equating to 'Other' changes
depending
on the value of Name. So for example, if Name.value="A" then the
'Other'
option for Type is set to "X". But if Name.value="B" then to choose
'Other'
we need Type.value="Y".
Having looked through the HTML source code, I have identified that
this
assignment is done in a Name_onchange() event, fired when the
*selection* of
Name is changed. Therefore, changing the value of Name in code using
IE.Document.All.Item("Name").Value="A"
unfortunately does not cause this event to fire, meaning that the
'Other'
option for Type will never have been set to "X", hence the line
IE.Document.All.Item("Type").Value="X"
will fail to set Type to 'Other'.
****
So my question is: What line(s) of code do I need to have IE
recognise that
the Name value has changed, therefore firing the the Name_onchange()
event?
Would I need something like a Name.Select="A" (don't know the syntax
so I
can't get this working...) to simulate a manual selection, or
something else?
I would really appreciate any ideas and help!! Thanks very much in
advance
everyone!
