Hi Everyone,
My question is really simple. I want to use VBA to open explorer, navigate to google.com and click on the "Gmail" link in the upper right corner.
I can open explorer and navigate to google, however when I inspect the element for the Gmail link, it does not have an ID. I tried to work into it to no avail using parent IDs and class names. I honestly didn't know what I was doing, but I'll pose the code below anyway. THANKS FOR THE HELP!

I know I can navigate directly to the link. However, I am just using this Gmail question as a simple example since I know everyone has access to do it. My actual project is based on a different webpage where the navigable link changes.Originally Posted by martindwilson

But that isn't my question. I need to program VBA such that it clicks on the 'Gmail' element through some form of code such as:
where the ID of the Element is unique and is automatically clicked on. My problem is, and your post shows the HTML, there is no unique ID for the link, so I need to know if there is an alternative in VBA to identify the Element and click on it.Please Login or Register to view this content.
I appreciate the help, and hopefully I am making my question more clear.
