IE automation with EXCEL VBA with drop down menus

Hi,
I am trying to navigate through this secure website designed in Javascript to query some information into EXCEL with vba. However I am stuck at a point on the website where I need to select the "location" to query the information. .Normally I can query the 'input' elements on website for the data, but this is designed in such a way that Without selecting a "location" I cannot query the information from the website.
the 'location' has a 'click on change' which activates the dropdown menu to select the option for the location.
I have included the source code below if that makes it easier to see what I am saying.

how can I get past this?
