referencing web site object

[Atishoo]

Hi have been using a dump routine posted by Joel to ascertain the reference
for objects in several web pages including three for mileage calculation.
Am unable to return the mileage by road output from the following web page,

URL = "http://www.freemaptools.com/distance-between-uk-postcodes.htm"

am sure the reference is :

Set dis = IE.document.getElementsByTagname("INPUT")
Set distance = dis.Item(7)
Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a1") = distance.innertext

but get no value returned from this! Should I be using a different suffix
other than "innertext"?

This should work. I used the code I worked on a couple of weeks ago

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True

For Each c In Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D6:N6").Cells
If c.Offset(0, 1).Value <> "" Then

URL = "http://www.freemaptools.com/distance-between-uk-postcodes.htm"


IE.Navigate2 URL
Do While IE.readyState <> 4 Or _
IE.busy = True

DoEvents
Loop


Set Form = IE.document.getElementsByTagname("Form")
'Call Dump(IE)
Set inputform = Form.Item(0)

Set Postcodebox1 = inputform.Item(0)
Postcodebox1.Value = c.Value

Set Postcodebox2 = inputform.Item(1)
Postcodebox2.Value = c.Offset(0, 1).Value

Set POSTCODEbutton = inputform.Item(2)
POSTCODEbutton.Click

Do While IE.readyState <> 4 Or _
IE.busy = True

DoEvents
Loop
'Call Dump(IE)
Set Table = IE.document.getElementsByTagname("table")
Set Distance = IE.document.getElementById("distance")
MsgBox ("Distance : " & Distance.Value)
Set Transport = IE.document.getElementById("transport")
MsgBox ("Transport : " & Transport.Value)




Next

IE.Quit

End Sub

Sub Dump(IE)

With Sheets("Dump")
..Cells.ClearContents
RowCount = 1
For Each itm In IE.document.all
..Range("A" & RowCount) = itm.Tagname
..Range("B" & RowCount) = itm.classname
..Range("C" & RowCount) = itm.ID
..Range("D" & RowCount) = Left(itm.innertext, 1024)
RowCount = RowCount + 1
Next itm
End With
End Sub

Cheers Joel.
i did try .value on that scrap of code i attatched to the question but it
returned an error everytime but yours works fine! Think its down to basic bad
programming on my part!
