Hi,

I have been attempting to automate a web scraping process and I am needing to click a button on the web page; however, my object is constantly empty. Here is the html code:
HTML:
<div class="pull-right">                          <button class="btn btn-primary js-export-customer"><span class="fui-export"></span>Export</button>

I've tried using this:
Code:
objIE.document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-primary js-export-customer").Click

But for some reason class name is not grabbing it. If anyone could help that would be wonderful.
</div>
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
The getElementsByClassName returns a collection of elements. Therefore, let's say that you want the first element from the collection, try...

Code:
[COLOR=#333333]objIE.document.getElementsByClassName("btn btn-primary js-export-customer")[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000](0)[/COLOR][COLOR=#333333].Click[/COLOR]

Note that the index is 0-based.
