Debug.Prints nothing...

[Av8tordude]

I have watch many tutorials on this HTML subject, but I'm not understanding why this code is not working. I'm trying to get the Bid Price, and the code runs without error, but prints nothing. What am I doing wrong??? Very Frustrated!!! Please help. Thank you kindly.

It would mean your If..Then test is failing. Perhaps what you think are normal spaces (ASCII 32) are really HTML non-breaking spaces (ASCII 160)?

Actually, when I single-step through it, it is the For Each that does nothing.

HTMLspans Is Nothing is False, but TypeName(HTMLspans.item) displays Nothing.

Honestly, I don't know enough about this to interpret what is going on. But hopefully someone like Rick can explain.

your set should be to class name rather than tag name.

the below code gives an output of :

Previous Close16.17
Open16.17
Bid0.00
Ask0.00
Expire Date2018-11-23
Day's Range16.17 - 16.17
Contract RangeN/A
Volume1


A further if would give you the bid price only
