Need HTML help please....

[TNTScrub]

I've been beating my head against my keyboard in frustration for at least 4 days trying to solve this. The HTML I'm forced to deal with has duplicate id issues. Can anyone tell me how to create a code that identifies or at least lets me click on the second one? These are the two lines of Code I'm dealing with.

<input name="butDelete" class="btn btn-danger" id="butDelete" type="submit" value="Delete">

<input name="butDelete" class="btn btn-primary" id="butDelete" type="submit" value="Delete This Cycle Record">

You could try using the name rather than the id.

Something like this where doc is a reference to the html document.

Set btn = doc.GetElementsByName("butDelete")(1)

Hi,

You can Check below code:

Dim htmlobject As Object
Set HTMLDoc = ieBrowser.document
    For Each htmlobject In HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("input")
            If htmlobject.getElementByClassName = "btn btn-primary" Then
                htmlobject.Click
                Exit For
        End If
    Next

Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately using the "btn btn-primary" attribute also takes me to a completely different button that also precedes this one. The only unique identifier I can find is the "Value" attribute. Ill try and edit your code and see if it will work.

Does the "(1)" dictate that it will select the first element with that name?

No, it should select the second element - the collection returned by GetElementsByClassName is zero-indexed.

Thanks for the response. If you share the URL, can create the exact code.

This is the best I can offer. Its an internal company page and I'm absolutely certain you couldn't reach the url

<div class="col-lg-12">
<h1 class="page-header">Cycle Record</h1>
<h4></h4>
<h4></h4>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="btn-group ">
<table>
<tbody><tr>
<td>
<input name="Button_Exit" class="btn btn-primary" id="Button_Exit" type="submit" value="Exit">&nbsp;
<input name="butSave" class="btn btn-primary" id="butSave" type="submit" value="Save">&nbsp;
<input name="butDelete" class="btn btn-primary" id="butDelete" type="submit" value="Delete This Cycle Record"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>


</div>
<br>
<h4><span class="label label-warning" id="lblMSG"></span></h4>
</div>
<br>
</div>

Hi, have you checked the code shared by Norie ?

 

[Saurabhj]

Check with Value parameter.

For Each htmlobject In HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("input")
            If htmlobject.value = "Delete This Cycle Record" Then
                htmlobject.Click
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
