Activating javascript with excel
I have a problem where I want to access a website, run a query on that
particular page of the website by activating buttons displayed on the web page and then activate a javascript command to export the data to excel. I am using Excel 2003 Professional. Is there any way possible of automating my problem. -- jason36 |

Activating javascript with excel
Might be possible. But it would depend entirely upon the details.
What web page are you trying to automate?

If you're using the web page directly how do you run the Excel export ?
Button? Link? Tim "jason36" wrote in message ...

Activating javascript with excel
Tim,
The button to pull up the list of queries in the web source code is : <input class="button" id="btnLoad" style="WIDTH: 75px" onclick="javascript:loadQuery();"type="button" value="Load" Followed by a link to export to an excel spreadsheet : <br--<a id="hlExport" href="javascript:exportExcel();"Export to Excel</a<br The excel spreadsheet created always has the same name so that would be the easy part, it's just the two parts in the automation process above that has got me stumped. Many Thanks -- jason36 "Tim Williams" wrote: If you're using the web page directly how do you run the Excel export ? Button? Link? Tim "jason36" wrote in message ...

Activating javascript with excel
For the button this should work:
IE.document.getElementById("btnLoad").click Where IE is your reference to the browser app. For the link this might also work: IE.document.getElementById("hlExport").click ....but it really depends on what happens in the js 'exportExcel()' function.
