dispatchEvent - VBA IE automation - excel

Question

I have a question I can't seem to figure out the answer to regarding how to dispatch an event in VBA.
On the website I am trying to navigate via VBA, there is a dynamic table id="G_grdProfile". In the table html, there are events listed. The table itself is dynamic. At minimum there will always be a row with the id="grdProfile_r_0". Within that row, there are cells that can be clicked. There can be id="grdProfile_rc_0_0", grdProfile_rc_0_1", etc.
I assume I need to dispatch the event in relation to the row or individual cell within the row, but I can't seem to get it to work. From using developer tools in Chrome and IE, it looks like either the ondblclick or onmousedown events are fired when a cell (other than 17) is clicked.
And .click does not return an error, but does not do anything.
My code is:
With ie
While .Busy Or .ReadyState <> 4: DoEvents: Wend
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
Set objLink = .Document.frames("mainParent").Document.forms("AgentProfileList").Document.getElementById("G_grdProfile").Document.getElementById("grdProfile_r_0").Document.getElementById("grdProfile_rc_0_2")
objLink.dispatchEvent ("onmousedown")
End With
The HTML referenced above for this section is:

Any ideas, or am I even using dispatchEvent properly?

Answer 1

I figured out what needed to occur was a few mouse events had to fire to move forward.
I ended up setting the cell in the table that I wanted to click and used fireEvent to fire all of the onmouse* events that had to happen.
Set objLink = IE1.document.frames("mainParent").document.forms("AgentProfileList").document.getElementById("grdProfile_r_0").document.getElementById("grdProfile_rc_0_2")
objLink.fireEvent ("onmouseover")
objLink.fireEvent ("onmousedown")
objLink.fireEvent ("onmouseup")
