Hello,

I am trying to get this text = onclick="window.open('DisplayCertificateOfAnalysis.aspx?docId=10542339')

HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>

</title></head>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" id="form1">
<div class="aspNetHidden">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="v4NCd7O24jB3LLlPXWQuVZtDg5Ws60x2gVCnDaOMmjmp6H6gS2lZfjFFCey39c6ca8V1C4z8+mgOFo70bZIy7Vn97qYwbrHA2WZm5WpGYlp/Vjk00+y/HMBCjhPceYJWVyuwrHDU6Bz7PGELafSRIY8ZljWBzyOQJm9hrNvQJH00xMV6y/QN0EXsLDUzJ6q5Wqw/ugvOPaIx4RdC+fI7R1dw0u+bfhSC2yV+He6CAS01wVJ2CiZTqxdi1NDmAeRJ3ox+vxbqW6JLfnYPx/1+zaqX0w5HwBPamy15Z1oKBQcSQBSlO3Go9VL8k3IoEay0" />
</div>

<div class="aspNetHidden">

    <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR" id="__VIEWSTATEGENERATOR" value="17302BD3" />
    <input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="aXBIwKjzvwDcNrY3G3hMpeLlZSIfBo1c25obC6W/VmTJpCItQluPePQfshtTOFXc39zGG4P0T9iYljffBG0ADW++1JR43761sxDXpYjk8t/S3bHDp7wlx9sTBEhAFjIs" />
</div>
    <div>

        <table style="width:100%">
            <tr>
                <td style="width:25%">                </td>
                <td style="width:50%"> <B>Product:</B> xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<B>Batch:</B> 0152             </td>
                <td style="width:25%">                </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td style="width:25%">                </td>
                <td>
                    <table id="tblFiles" align="Center" style="border-width:1px;border-style:Solid;width:100%;">
    <tr style="background-color:#ADC6CD;border-color:White;">
        <th>File Name</th><th>File Type</th><th>File Size</th><th></th>
    </tr><tr align="center">
        <td>xxxxxxxxxx.pdf</td><td>PDF</td><td>IDnumber</td><td><input type="image" name="ctl02" src="images/PDF.png" onclick="window.open(&#39;DisplayCertificateOfAnalysis.aspx?docId=10542339&#39;); return false;" /></td>
    </tr>
</table>
                </td>
                <td style="width:25%">                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

I have the following code that extracts the table from the website, but it only gets the visible table values and not the underlying data in the web source

VBA Code:
Sub get_table_web()
Dim ig As Object
Dim urlc As String
urlc = "xxxxxxxxx"
Set ig = GetObject("new:{D5E8041D-920F-45e9-B8FB-B1DEB82C6E5E}")
ig.Visible = True
ig.navigate urlc
Do While ig.Busy: DoEvents: Loop
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:05"))


Dim tb As HTMLTable
Set tb = ig.document.getElementById("tblFiles")
Dim rowcounter As Integer
Dim columncounter As Integer
rowcounter = 4
columncounter = 2
Dim tro As HTMLTableRow
Dim tdc As HTMLTableCell
Dim thu
Dim mys As Worksheet
Set mys = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Financial_Futures")
For Each tro In tb.getElementsByTagName("tr")
For Each thu In tro.getElementsByTagName("th")
mys.Cells(rowcounter, columncounter).Value = thu.innerText
columncounter = columncounter + 1
Next thu
For Each tdc In tro.getElementsByTagName("td")
mys.Cells(rowcounter, columncounter).Value = tdc.innerText
columncounter = columncounter + 1
Next tdc
columncounter = 1
rowcounter = rowcounter + 1
Next tro
End Sub

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Get the input element within the td and then its onclick attribute, something like this:
VBA Code:
Dim inputElement As HTMLInputElement

For Each tdc In tro.getElementsByTagName("td")
    Set inputElement = tdc.getElementsByTagName("input")(0)
    If Not inputElement Is Nothing Then
        Debug.Print inputElement.getAttribute("onclick")
    End If
    mys.Cells(rowcounter, columncounter).Value = tdc.innerText
    columncounter = columncounter + 1
Next tdc
