I need to do the following
Go to http://healthapps.state.nj.us/facilities/acSetSearch.aspx?by=county
Select \"Special Hospital\
It navigates to each result page, and back to homepage in between so as to leverage the postBack links through clicks.
Option Explicit
Public Sub VisitPages()
Dim IE As New InternetExplorer
With IE
.Visible = True
.navigate "http://healthapps.state.nj.us/facilities/acSetSearch.aspx?by=county"
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
With .document
.querySelector("#middleContent_cbType_5").Click
.querySelector("#middleContent_cbType_12").Click
.querySelector("#middleContent_btnGetList").Click
End With
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
Dim list As Object, i As Long
Set list = .document.querySelectorAll("#main_table [href*=doPostBack]")
For i = 0 To list.Length - 1
list.item(i).Click
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
Application.Wait Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 3) '<== Delete me later. This is just to demo page changes
'do stuff with new page
.Navigate2 .document.URL '<== back to homepage
While .Busy Or .readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
Set list = .document.querySelectorAll("#main_table [href*=doPostBack]") 'reset list (often required in these scenarios)
Next
Stop '<== Delete me later
'.Quit '<== Remember to quit application
End With
End Sub
Same thing with executing the postBacks
