I'm trying to click the "Google Search" button on google's homepage.




The source code from google.com:






Code:
    <input value="Google Search" aria-label="Google Search" name="btnK" type="submit" jsaction="sf.chk">

In my VBA, I have:




Code:
    Dim v As Object

[Insert A1's value such as "cats" into the Google search bar - works]




Code:
    v.document.getElementsbyname("btnK")(0).Click



A strange thing about this is that, sometime is Would actually click and other times (more often than not) it Would NOT click. Appreciate any suggestions
