As much as I have come to appreciate SendKeys, is there an alternative to using them? It just seems to take much more time than I'd like to navigate through a web page using vba code such as

SendKeys "{TAB}"
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:01"))


over and over again.

I'm anticipating a way to do something with javascript in order to go straight for the web selection you are aiming at so as to not have to tab through your selections.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
You appreciate SendKeys?:eek:

I think you must be the first person I've encountered that does.

That method, though sometimes needed, is notoriously flaky.

If what you are trying to do is use VBA to navigate/manipulate webpages I suggest you post some more information.
