I try to automate some manual processes by using VBA automation. One of them is to click on a element that has an empty content and at the moment I am not able to figure out how to deal with it
The HTML code that I am trying to click on:
<div id="searchcombobox-1077-triggerWrap" data-ref="triggerWrap" class="x-form-trigger-wrap x-form-trigger-wrap-toolbar">
<div id="searchcombobox-1077-inputWrap" data-ref="inputWrap" class="x-form-text-wrap x-form-text-wrap-toolbar">
<input id="searchcombobox-1077-inputEl" data-ref="inputEl" type="text" role="combobox" size="1" name="searchcombobox-1077-inputEl" placeholder="Account Number" tabindex="-1" class="x-form-field x-form-text x-form-text-toolbar " autocomplete="off" componentid="searchcombobox-1077">
</div>
<div id="searchcombobox-1077-trigger-picker" class="x-form-trigger x-form-trigger-toolbar x-form-search-trigger x-form-search-trigger-toolbar "></div>
</div>
The VBA code used is:
HTMLDoc.getElementById("searchcombobox-1077-inputEl").Value = '11xx111'
Set click_el = HTMLDoc.querySelector("#searchcombobox-1077-trigger-picker")
With click_el
.Focus
.FireEvent "onclick"
End With
What should be the approach that I need to take into consideration since the div element that I need to click on is empty?
Thanks,

I have this case where i cannot click the button.
It seems to be Span within span, how to use this on VBA?
<div class=" detail-section">
<span class="btn click-back">
<span> << Back to Fill</span>
</span>
<button class="btn click-primary">
<span>Create Detail</span>
</button>
</div>
i tried and it doesn't work
Obj.FindElement(By.XPath("//*[contains(#span, 'Create Detal')] ")).Click
I got the answer and working fine now.
Obj.FindElementByXPath("//button[#class ='btn click-primary']").Click
I am using selenium to target 3 buttons as in the image below
Here is the code for each thumbnail
<div class="product">
<div class="product-image">
<img src="./images/raspberry.jpg" alt="Raspberry - 1/4 Kg">
</div>
<h4 class="product-name">Raspberry - 1/4 Kg</h4>
<p class="product-price">160</p>
<div class="stepper-input">
–
<input type="number" class="quantity" value="1">
+
</div>
<div class="product-action">
<button class="" type="button">ADD TO CART</button>
</div>
</div>
When I try the following code below it fulfills the goal of clicking the 3 buttons
add_cart_btn_locator = (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[class='product'] button")
add_cart_btn_link = driver.find_elements(*add_cart_btn_locator)
for i in add_cart_btn_link:
i.click()
But when I try to change my selector to div[class='product-action'] button, only the first button is clicked then the below error appears
Message: stale element reference: element is not attached to the page document
May I kindly ask what is the difference of the two locators and why they do not work identically?
change your loop :
add_cart_btn_locator = (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[class='product-action'] button")
add_cart_btn_link = driver.find_elements(*add_cart_btn_locator)
nbrlinks = len(add_cart_btn_link)
for i in range(nbrlinks):
add_cart_btn_locator = (By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div[class='product-action'] button")
add_cart_btn_link = driver.find_elements(*add_cart_btn_locator)
add_cart_btn_link[i].click()
you have to reload the search of items each time
I am trying to select a value from a dropdown in a web page using Seleinum with VBA binding, but I am unable to do it.
This is the code I tried bot.FindElementById("holder-samples-date-type-inputEl").SendKeys "XX"
I am not getting any error the code runs it click the dropdown button and the list is shown but no value is selected and the dropdown does not change.
I have the same project with VBA and IE (DOM elements) and this code works fine in Internet explorer IE.document.getElementById("holder-samples-date-type-inputEl").Value = "XX"
The interesting part of this dropdown is after clicking the dropdown icon i am unable to inspect the list (like do a right click on the list) and if i click anywhere else in the web page or change the window the dropdown list get closed (like it retracts) note: this is not a mouseover drop down. Also, when the list is open there seems to be additional code added (I have pasted a snippet of the code)
Below is the HTML from the web page.
<div id="holder-samples-date-type-triggerWrap" data-ref="triggerWrap" class="x-form-trigger-wrap x-form-trigger-wrap-default x-form-trigger-wrap-invalid">
<div id="holder-samples-date-type-inputWrap" data-ref="inputWrap" class="x-form-text-wrap x-form-text-wrap-default x-form-text-wrap-invalid"><input id="holder-samples-date-type-inputEl" data-ref="inputEl" type="text" role="combobox" aria-label="Chargebacks: Date Type" aria-readonly="false" aria-required="true" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false" aria-autocomplete="list" size="1" name="P_samples_Date_Type" readonly="readonly" class="x-form-field x-form-required-field x-form-text x-form-text-default x-form-invalid-field x-form-invalid-field-default" autocomplete="off" aria-labelledby="holder-samples-date-type-labelEl" aria-owns="boundlist-1206" componentid="holder-samples-date-type" data-errorqtip="<ul class="x-list-plain"><div>Date Type</div><li>This field is required</li></ul>" aria-invalid="true"></div>
<div id="holder-samples-date-type-trigger-picker"
aria-label="Trigger" class="x-form-trigger x-form-trigger-default x-form-arrow-trigger x-form-arrow-trigger-default "><img class="combo-trigger-placeholder" src="https://www.sample.net/clr/images/16x16_transparent.png" title="combobox trigger" alt="combobox trigger"></div>
</div>
Below is the image
Since I am unable to do a right click on the dropdown option. I did a 'Find" option in the developer window and below is the webpage code for the dropdown item and it is inside a iframe
<div id="boundlist-1206-listWrap" data-ref="listWrap" role="presentation" class="x-boundlist-list-ct x-unselectable" style="overflow: auto; height: auto;">
<ul id="boundlist-1206-listEl" data-ref="listEl" class="x-list-plain">
<div data-qtip="" class="x-boundlist-item x-boundlist-item-over" tabindex="-1" data-recordindex="0" data-recordid="31" data-boundview="boundlist-1206" id="ext-932" role="option" aria-selected="false">Received Date</div>
<div data-qtip="" class="x-boundlist-item" tabindex="-1" data-recordindex="1" data-recordid="32" data-boundview="boundlist-1206" id="ext-933" role="option" aria-selected="false">Status Date</div>
<div data-qtip="" class="x-boundlist-item" tabindex="-1" data-recordindex="2" data-recordid="33" data-boundview="boundlist-1206" id="ext-934" role="option" aria-selected="false">Due Date</div>
<div data-qtip="" class="x-boundlist-item" tabindex="-1" data-recordindex="3" data-recordid="34" data-boundview="boundlist-1206" id="ext-935" role="option" aria-selected="false">Disposition Date</div>
</ul>
</div>
Some points that may help:
1) If inside an iframe you will need to switch to the iframe first
bot.SwitchToFrame(identifier)
Identifier can be the element selected by iframe name/id etc.
2) You can try click and hold on the input text box before using your SendKeys
bot.FindElementById("x").ClickAndHold
'sendkeys line here
3) You can try setting the value with javascript
bot.ExecuteScript "document.getElementById('x').value = 'xx';"
I am trying to punch the radio button question and want to input the value in an open text box as well (using VBA). Below is the script I am using.
I tried multiple things, looked at other websites as well but it is not working.
It would be great if someone can guide me.
Dim IE As Object
Dim Region, VOCSentDate As String
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Region = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value
VOCSentDate = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1").Value
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate "website link....."
Application.StatusBar = "Submitting"
While IE.Busy
DoEvents
Wend
I'm not sure how to punch the radio button question. I tried the 3 types for Open textbox below but none of them are not working, throwing object required error
IE.Document.getElementById("ctl00_body_7F22FA6E-5D77-426A-AA84-68D833FA05C1_3").Value = VOCSentDate
IE.Document.getElementById("ctl00_body_7F22FA6E-5D77-426A-AA84-68D833FA05C1_3").innerText = VOCSentDate
IE.Document.all("ctl00_body_7F22FA6E-5D77-426A-AA84-68D833FA05C1_3").Value = VOCSentDate
Application.StatusBar = "Form Submitted"
IE.Quit
Set IE = Nothing

tl;dr;
The following are based on the HTML as shown. If there are parent form/frame/iframe tags involved they will also need to be negotiated before making the selections below.
Radio buttons:
For the radio buttons you can use a CSS selector combination to target the page styling and return a nodeList of all of the radio button elements. You can then select by index the appropriate button
Dim aNodeList As Object
Set aNodeList = ie.document.querySelectorAll(".ResponseOption [type=radio]")
aNodeList.item(0).Click '<==Select first option
I think click may be likely method here as I can't see a checked attribute, else the syntax would be aNodeList.item(0).checked = True
The returned nodeList is as follows by index
Textbox:
There is an ID for the input box so you can use an ID selector, #, to target
ie.document.querySelector("#ctl00_body_01EE9560-B1F9-4BA3-A922-9D53A1120FC2_3").Value = "myText"
To choose a radio button style input, make the checked property true.
IE.Document.getElementById("ctl00_body_01EE9560-B1F9-4BA3-A922-9D53A1120FC2_1_6").checked = true
An input textbox gets its value set.
IE.Document.getElementById("ctl00_body_01EE9560-B1F9-4BA3-A922-9D53A1120FC2_3").value = format(VOCSentDate, "d/m/yy")
Apologies if this question has been asked before . I have tried other solutions and they don't appear to work me. I am trying to use VBA to click on a search button but I get no response. The button HTML is as follows
<span id="searchButton">
<button class="btn btn-default" data-bind="click:
GetFilteredRequests.bind($data, 1)">
<span id="innerSeachButton" class="fa fa-search">
</span>Search
</button>
</span>
I was trying something like this but it doesn't work;
Dim e
For Each e In IE.document.getElementsByTagName("span")
If InStr(e.outerHTML, "btn btn-default") > 0 Then
Stop
e.Click
Exit For
End If
Next
