Excel VBA & IE 11 - Unable to refresh page after selecting value in a dropdown

Question

I\'m trying to get the currency exchange rate offered by WorldRemit for a pair of currencies. I want to change the value in the \'Send From\' dropdown list on the top left corne

Answer 1

Apparently FireEvent doesn't work all that well with IE 11 so need to use CreatEvent + initEvent + dispatchEvent

Working code snippet below:

Dim fromSelect As HTMLSelectElement
Dim evt As Object

Set evt = HTMLdoc.createEvent("HTMLEvents")
evt.initEvent "change", True, False
Set fromSelect = HTMLdoc.getElementById("selectFrom")
optionIndex = Find_Select_Option(fromSelect, "Germany")
If optionIndex >= 0 Then
    fromSelect.selectedIndex = optionIndex
    fromSelect.dispatchEvent evt
End If
