Deleting pasted HTML controls with Javascript
Okay, this is an odd problem. I have an export function that copies a
table from HTML and pastes it into an Excel spreadsheet. The problem is, the table has checkboxes in it, so when I paste, I get shapes in the spreadsheet. And I want to delete them from the same webpage that I used to copy the HTML over. I can run a macro in Excel that says: For i = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1 ActiveSheet.Shapes(i).Delete Next i This works fine. But when I try and do it from Excel, it crashes and burns: for (i = objWorksheet.Shapes.Count; i = 1; i--){ objWorksheet.Shapes(i).Delete; } If I do alert(objWorksheet.Shapes(i).Name), it gives me the name of each object, so I know I'm accessing the objects. I can even set an object equal to the shape, but when I try and do .Delete, it craps out. Has anyone run into something like this? I don't know if it's some sort of wonky Microsoft security thing, or if someone simply forgot to include this method when they made the COM wrapper, but it's driving me nuts. There must be some way to get rid of those things from the javascript, no? Thanks in advance, Lisa |

Deleting pasted HTML controls with Javascript
Some things not clear:
1. Where is your export function running? How is the HTML copied to XL ? 2. You say "from Excel" but then show javascript code - where is this running ? Did you mean from outside of XL ? Maybe: objWorksheet.Shapes(i).Delete(); // in loop or just objWorksheet.Shapes.Delete() //without the loop Tim wrote in message ... Okay, this is an odd problem.
