Moving Focus On Web Forms

[Dennis Tucker]

Is there any way to move the focus around on a web form from VBA - Excluding "SendKeys {TAB}"???

If you can get a reference to the root HTMLDocument object then you can use that to reach the appropriate child elements' focus() method

Eg:
for a text input with Id or Name of "txtFocus"

doc.getElementById("txtInput").focus
or
doc.getElementsByName("txtInput")(1).focus

For plenty of examples on how to get a reference to the Document object, Google on "automate IE VB[A]"

I do have this access. I think this is what I was looking for. I will try it out. Thank you so much.
