Hello everybody.

I don't understand why this error in getElementsByClassName.

I'm logging in a navigating a site via vba.


Code:
Sub navigate()

Dim myId As String, myCode As String
Dim IE As Object

myId = "user"
myCode = "password" 
myURL = "https://example.com/wwww/"

Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With IE
    .navigate myURL
    .Visible = True
    Do While .Busy: DoEvents: Loop   
    Do While .readyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop 
End With

myStart = Timer
Do  
    DoEvents
    If Timer > myStart + 1 Or Timer < myStart Then Exit Do
Loop

'Log in

IE.document.getElementsByTagName("input")(0).Value = myId
IE.document.getElementsByTagName("input")(1).Value = myCode
IE.document.getElementsByTagName("button")(0).Click


    Do While IE.Busy: DoEvents: Loop    'Attesa not busy
    Do While IE.readyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop 'Attesa documento

IE.document.getElementsByClassName("close-tab")(0).Click

Error on the last row:

error 438 object doesn't support this property or method internet explorer
