Extracting the text from a <a href= tag

[ScooterNorm]

I load a web page using ServerXMLHTL60 which has the following HTML code.

...
<tbody id="docResultsTbody" class="tablesorterTbody">
<tr class="doc_row dataRowTR">
<td class="textCenter">
<input type="checkbox" class="resSelects" id="tmDoc1"></input>
</td>
<td class="">Feb. 26, 2024</td>
<td class="">
<a href="/documentviewer?caseId=sn97775647&amp;docId=ABN20240226074801&amp;linkId=1"
target="ABN20240226074801">ABANDONMENT-Notice</a>
</td>
<td class=""></td>
<td class="end">PDF</td>
<td class="hide">20240226074801</td>
</tr>
...

I do a `Set elems1 = htmlDoc.getElementsByClassName("doc_row dataRowTR")

and the 1st entry returns the following innerHTML text:
<TD class=textCenter><INPUT id=tmDoc1 class=resSelects type=checkbox></INPUT> </TD>
<TD>Feb. 26, 2024</TD>
<TD><A href="about:/documentviewer?caseId=sn97775647&amp;docId=ABN20240226074801&amp;linkId=1" target=ABN20240226074801>ABANDONMENT-Notice</A> </TD>
<TD></TD>
<TD class=end>PDF</TD>
<TD class=hide>20240226074801</TD>

What call do I use next to get the text from the "<a href=" tag?

Then I need to format that text to call the page which looks like this:

https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn97775647&docId=ABN20240226074801&linkId=1#docIndex=0&page=1

Thanks for all your help,

Try something like this:

Debug.Print Replace(elems1(0).getElementsByTagName("A")(0).href,"about:","https://tsdr.uspto.gov") & "#docIndex=0&page=1"

Try something like this:

Debug.Print Replace(elems1(0).getElementsByTagName("A")(0).href,"about:","https://tsdr.uspto.gov") & "#docIndex=0&page=1"

Hey John,

Thank you very much for your suggestion. It worked great with one small tweak.

Instead of:
Debug.Print Replace(elems1(0).getElementsByTagName("A")(0).href, "about:", _
    "https://tsdr.uspto.gov") & "#docIndex=0&page=1"

This worked:
Debug.Print Replace(elems1.getElementsByTagName("A")(0).href, "about:", _
    "https://tsdr.uspto.gov") & "#docIndex=0&page=1"

Thanks so much for your suggestion, this helped me solve it.
