internet explorer - VBA skipping code directly after submitting form in IE -

-

currently have 2 pieces of code work separately, when used don't work properly.

the first code asks user input information stored. navigates correct webpage uses stored user input information navigate via filling , submitting form. arrives @ correct place.

the second code uses specific url via ie.navigate "insert url here" navigate same place first code. scrapes url data , stores in newly created sheet. correctly.

when merging them replace navigation segment second code first code, stores first 5 of 60 urls if hadn't loaded page before scraping data. seems skip code directly after ie.document.forms(0).submit supposed wait page load before moving on scraping..

extra info: button wasn't defined cannot click had use ie.document.forms(0).submit

summary of want code do:

 request user input     store user input     open ie     navigate page     enter user input search field     select correct search category listbox     submit form   'problem happens here     scrape url data     store url data in specific excel worksheet

the merged code:

    sub extracttablesdata()                   dim ie object, obj object                  dim var_input string                  dim elemcollection object                  dim html htmldocument                  dim link object                  dim erow long                   ' create new sheet store info                 application.displayalerts = false                 thisworkbook.sheets("hl").delete                 thisworkbook.sheets.add.name = "hl"                 application.displayalerts = true                   set ie = createobject("internetexplorer.application")                   var_input = inputbox("enter info")                   ie                   .visible = true                  .navigate ("url webpage")                   while ie.readystate <> 4                  doevents                  wend                  'input term 1 input box                 ie.document.getelementbyid("trm1").value = var_input                   'accessing field 1 listbox                 each obj in ie.document.all.item("field1").options                          if obj.value = "value in listbox"                              obj.selected = true                          end if                      next obj                  ' button undefined - using submit form                 ie.document.forms(0).submit '----------------------------------------------------------------                          'seems skip part when merged                     'wait until ie done loading page         while ie.readystate <> readystate_complete          application.statusbar = "trying go website…"         doevents         loop  '----------------------------------------------------------------                 set html = ie.document         set elementcol = html.getelementsbytagname("a")          each link in elementcol         erow = worksheets("hl").cells(rows.count, 1).end(xlup).offset(1, 0).row         cells(erow, 1).value = link         cells(erow, 1).columns.autofit         next           application.statusbar = “”         application.screenupdating = true                 end             end sub

i've been stuck quite time on , haven't found solutions on own i'm reaching out. appreciated!

you mentioned think website might not loaded. common problem because of more dynamic elements on webpage. easiest way handle insert line:

application.wait + timevalue("00:00:02")

this force code pause additional 2 seconds. insert line below code waits page load , give internet explorer chance catch up. depending on website , reliability of connection recommend adjusting value anywhere 5 seconds.

most websites seem require additional waiting this, handy code remember when things don't work expected. hope helps.
