Excel VBA：使用 HTML DOM

Question

I need to know what all can I do with HTML over Excel VBA. for example I know that I can find element by id ie.document.getElementByID() . I will work with HTML table which doesn't have elements with id, so that it will look like child->child->sibling->child..... i think.

Can anybody pleas show me part of code, which will get text "hello" from this example table? first node will be found by his ID.

...
<table id="something">
  <tr>
    <td></td><td></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td></td><td>hello</td>
  </tr>
...

Answer 1

I'm looking at this type of thing at the moment...

I believe the something like the below should do it:

ie.getelementbyid("something").getelementsbytagname("TD")(3).innertext

How it works:

It searches the HTML doc for the element where the ID is equal to "something" (will take first iteration if more than 1 but you can loop through many). It will then get take the table data tag and go to the iteration (3) where the text is (0 would equal the first TD).

Let us know if this works.

Answer 2

Many HTML documents have names in generalized tables as opposed to ID's

I commonly use some form of what is shown below;

Set HTML = IE.Document
Set SomethingID = HTML.GetElementByID("something").Children
For Each TR in SomethingID
   If TR.TagName = "td" Then
      If TR.Name = "myname" Then
         'code in here if you are looking for a name to the element
      ElseIf TR.Value = "myValue" Then
         'Code in here if you are looking for a specific value
      ElseIf TR.innerText = "mytext" Then
         'more code in here if you are looking for a specific inner text
      End If
   End If
Next TR
