Hi

Can someone please help me I am trying to get at href link from some html code (as show in GREEN below), Most of my code does what I wants but does not get the right info. This is the HTML bit

HTML:
<div >
        <div class="si-inner">
            <div class="si-content ">
                <div class="bdg-90">
                            <div class="mbg">
        <a href="http://www.mylink.co.uk/usr/spigenuk?_trksid=p2047675.l2559" aria-label="Member ID: spigenuk" id="mbgLink"> <span class="mbg-nw">spigenuk</span></a>
        <span class="mbg-l">

I have tweaked and re-tweaked my code and now feel I might have messed some thing up and can't work out what.

I have highlighted the key bit in RED and Blue below.

There is a list of URL on sheet2 "URL LIST" that the code checks and pastes the data extracted into Sheet1

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton8_Click()

[COLOR=#ff8c00]'Count url in sheet2[/COLOR]
With Worksheets("URL LIST")
    lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    Sheets("URL LIST").Range("L1").Value = lastRow
    End With
  
[COLOR=#ff8c00]' Run main code[/COLOR]
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim x As Variant
Dim i, j, k, l As Integer
Dim r As Long, lr As Long
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet, links As Variant, ie As Object, link As Variant
Dim rw As Long

    i = 2
    k = 2
    l = 2
    [COLOR=#ff8c00]'SHEET2 as sheet with URL[/COLOR]
    Set wb = ThisWorkbook
    Set wsSheet = wb.Sheets("URL LIST")
    
    [COLOR=#ff8c00]'Set IE = InternetExplorer[/COLOR]
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    
    rw = wsSheet.Cells(wsSheet.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    links = wsSheet.Range("A1:A" & rw)
    
 [COLOR=#ff8c00]   'IE Open Time per page 5sec and check links on Sheet2 Column A[/COLOR]
    With ie
       .Visible = True
       Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("00:00:5"))
       
       For Each link In links
           .navigate (link)
           While .Busy Or .READYSTATE <> 4: DoEvents: Wend

Dim doc As HTMLDocument [COLOR=#ff8c00]'variable for document or data which need to be extracted out of webpage[/COLOR]
Set doc = ie.document
Dim dd As Variant
On Error Resume Next
[COLOR=#ff0000]dd = doc.getElementsByClassName("[/COLOR][COLOR=#000080]mbg[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000]")(0).innerText[/COLOR]
On Error Resume Next

[COLOR=#ff8c00]'Paste in this sheet[/COLOR]
Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1, "A").Value = dd
         
[COLOR=#ff8c00]'Deletes duplicates in column A Sheet1[/COLOR]
    Columns(1).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1)
    
    
 [COLOR=#ff8c00]' Put no1 in sheet2 column F[/COLOR]
  Sheets("URL LIST").Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = 1
 
[COLOR=#ff8c00] 'Count No1 in sheet2 Column F[/COLOR]
With Worksheets("URL LIST")
    lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
    Sheets("URL LIST").Range("L2").Value = lastRow
    End With
  Call CommandButton9_Click

[COLOR=#ff8c00]'navigate links[/COLOR]
       Next link
       
[COLOR=#ff8c00]'Close IE Browser[/COLOR]
    .Quit
    End With
    
    Set ie = Nothing
    
End Sub

Thanks for having a look
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
For the record, this is what I am after not what is stated in the first post. I did not realise that when i placed it in the html container it will turn most of it blue.
I have not put it in the html container this time

I need the bit in green
