Hi,

Does anyone know how I can ammend the below code to wait for the web page to finish loading please?

Also, I am trying to obtain the book id, but not sure how to accomplish this.

Rich (BB code):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
   <book id="bk101">
      <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
      <title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
      <genre>Computer</genre>
      <price>44.95</price>
      <publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
      <description>An in-depth look at creating applications 
      with XML.</description>
   </book>

VBA Code:
Sub xmlParse()
    
    Dim oXMLHTTP As Object
    Dim sPageHTML As String
    Dim sURL As String
    Dim XmlMapResponse As String
    Dim strXML As String
    Dim XDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument60
    Dim xNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

    sURL = "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Ram-N/5189462/raw/46db0b43ad7bf9cbd32a8932f3ab981bd4b4da7c/books.xml"

    Set oXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    
    oXMLHTTP.Open "GET", sURL, False
    oXMLHTTP.send
    XmlMapResponse = oXMLHTTP.responseText

    strXML = XmlMapResponse

    Set XDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument60

    If Not XDoc.LoadXML(strXML) Then
        Err.Raise XDoc.parseError.ErrorCode, , XDoc.parseError.reason
    End If

'   Selects the author element for the first book element
    Set xNode = XDoc.SelectSingleNode("catalog/book[1]/author")
    Debug.Print xNode.Text & vbNewLine

'   Loop through each title element that is the child of the book element
    For Each xNode In XDoc.SelectNodes("catalog/book/title")
        Debug.Print xNode.Text
    Next xNode

End Sub

Thanks

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
