VBA executing javascript, multiple radio buttons with same ID

By using an embedded webbrowser, I have managed to navigate to a site, interact with welcoming pop-ups, login with username and password, search for records in a database, access the records, and populate the data on the record for submission. Well, almost. On the final page, there are multiple sections with radio buttons to select, 1 for each category. The problem is, they have the same name. For example (much more simple than the actual source):

Record to Update...

1. Choose a day of the week:
monday, tuesday, wednesday

2. Choose a time of the day:
morning, afternoon, evening

I can automate the choosing based on values in my worksheets, but the problem is that (in this example) the ID for .checked is the same:

Monday = "A"
Tuesday = "B"
Wednesday = "C"

Morning = "A"
Afternoon = "B"
Evening = "C"

So if I want to pick Monday and Afternoon, it ends up just stopping at choosing tuesday, since it doesn't know that I want the "B" from the next set. Each section to choose has different names (ie, choose_day and choose_time).

How do I tell the browser which section I want to update, and then move on? I've come to far to be stuck at the very end...

Thanks!

It's a bit difficult to help with just describing the page; we really need to see the HTML source or the URL, but try something like:

Code

WebBrowser1.document.forms(0).elements("choose_day")(0).Checked = True   'Monday
WebBrowser1.document.forms(0).elements("choose_time")(1).Checked = True   'Afternoon

assuming those elements belong to the first form [forms(0)].

Yes, all the elements belong to the same form. Here is the source (the parts in question), and likely more in here than you need:

<font class="LabelFONT">Incident Outcome</font></td><tr><td><label for="incidentOutcome_1_none">


<input type="radio" name="incidentOutcome_1_none" id="id_D" value="D" alt="Distress" /><font class="smallFONT">Distress</font></td><td><label for="incidentOutcome_1_none">


<input type="radio" name="incidentOutcome_1_none" id="id_N" value="N" alt="Non-Distress"  CHECKED /><font class="smallFONT">Non-Distress</font></td><td><label for="incidentOutcome_1_none">

So on that section if I wanted to select "non-distress", I'd use:
browser.Document.getelementbyid("id_N").Checked = True

<font class="LabelFONT">     Owner Information</font></td><tr><td><label for="regAccuracyOwner_1_none">


<input type="radio" name="regAccuracyOwner_1_none" id="id_A" value="A" alt="Accurate"  CHECKED /><font class="smallFONT">Accurate                        </font></td><td><label for="regAccuracyOwner_1_none">


<input type="radio" name="regAccuracyOwner_1_none" id="id_N" value="N" alt="Not Accurate                    " /><font class="smallFONT">Not Accurate                    </font></td><td><label for="regAccuracyOwner_1_none">

And on this section if I wanted to select "not accurate", I'd use:
browser.Document.getelementbyid("id_N").Checked = True

Since both radios that I want to check are id_N - only the first one gets checked and the second stays blank.

Thoughts? I'm not sure if it's possible to cycle through them, or if there is a way to define each as a static id each time..?

Try using the name for each

Code

browser.Document.all("incidentOutcome_1_none").Checked = True
 browser.Document.all("regAccuracyOwner_1_none").Checked = True

That won't do anything, as there is no radio input by those names to check. There are radio options for each of those sections.

I don't know why you've posted the above HTML when you said the names of the radio buttons in question are choose_day and choose_time. Post the HTML relevant to the radio buttons you want to 'push'.

The choose_day / time was just an example, as I didn't have access to the source code for the post at the time. Someone asked me for the actual source code, so I posted it when I could.

See if you can apply the same technique to the radio button you said was named 'choose_day'.

This worked perfectly, as I can now adjust the () value for the radio for each.

Thanks a million!
