Hello

I cannot find the answer to this question anywhere. Please help.

I am using IE automation in Excel to grab information from different sites.
For the first time I have come across a website that uses buttons without
naming them. I have an example code below. I would like to automate clicking
the View Forms button. There seems to be no information to grab in order to
isolate the button and click on it

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
David

function ResetForm() {
pop('?lang=en'); document.GEOptions.submit();
}
function HiliteControlContents() {
// alert(event.srcElement.type);
event.srcElement.select();
}
