Hello,
I wanna ask about vba for internet explorer automation
I use it on e-commerce web (shopxx) to scrape buyer link from other seller.
I have made script & it worked but I have a problem to refresh the Button object.

The step is:
- open IE for other seller rating page
- grab all the link & all button page
- open the new link in new IE
- follow them, close the new IE and looping per page

Since there only 5 button page when I first load the page, I try to repeat it.
in this code I try to repeat 2x (I use **FOR looping with variable varRepeat**).

what I want to ask is: <br>
- after clicking 5 page (5 button has been clicked) => worked
- when varRepeat=2
why the BtnPage didn't refresh to page 6-9, and it's still refer to button page 1-5 (on the 1st loading page).

eventhough I have place this command
Set ieBtnPage = objIE.Document.getElementsByClassName("shopee-button-no-outline")

So the program running for page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and back to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Thank you.


VBA Code:
Sub Followers()
 
    Dim objIE As InternetExplorer
    Dim ieAnchors As Object
    Dim Anchor As Object
    Dim ieBtnPage As Object
 
    Set objIE = New InternetExplorer
 
    objIE.Visible = True
    objIE.Navigate "https://shoxxe.co.id/buyer/xxxxx/rating"
    
    Do While objIE.Busy = True Or objIE.ReadyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:3"))
    
    varRepeat = 1  
    For varRepeat = 1 To 2
    
    Set ieBtnPage = objIE.Document.getElementsByClassName("shopee-button-no-outline")

      For Each BtnPage In ieBtnPage
           
         For Each Anchor In ieAnchors
            result = Anchor
                             
                       Dim objIE_1 As InternetExplorer
                       Dim ieBtn As Object
                       Dim Btn As Object
                   
                       Set objIE_1 = New InternetExplorer
                   
                       objIE_1.Visible = True
                       objIE_1.Navigate Anchor
                    
                       Do While objIE_1.Busy = True Or objIE_1.ReadyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
                       Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:3"))                   
                
                       Set ieBtn = objIE_1.Document.getElementsByClassName("shopee-button-outline shopee-button-outline--complement shopee-button-outline--fill ")
                          
                       Do While objIE_1.Busy = True Or objIE_1.ReadyState <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
        
                              For Each Btn In ieBtn
                              Btn.Click
                              Next Btn
                      
                      Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:2"))
                      objIE_1.Quit
                 
         Next Anchor
      
      BtnPage.Click
    
      Next BtnPage
 
    Next varRepeat

 
End Sub

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Case Closed.
The problem aforementioned was my mistakes.
It happened due to in page 5, the button shown in page start from 1 to 7, while it only marked active page (5).
So rather using button page, I used next button & I repeat it using loop for any amount I want.
Thanks.
