Hi,

I am currently working on a code in order to scrape data from a Company page in order to make a list of Projects available in Excel (as our programmers are too busy to implement this function directly).
I combined several bits and pieces i found on the web, and it works like a charm, apart from the fact that I cannot manipulate the display length of the data table, which comes preset at 25. However, I need to either display all rows in order for my Macro to Work, or export them to Excel.

The code I have so far:

Code:
Enum READYSTATE
READYSTATE_UNINITIALIZED = 0
READYSTATE_LOADING = 1
READYSTATE_LOADED = 2
READYSTATE_INTERACTIVE = 3
READYSTATE_COMPLETE = 4
End Enum
 

Sub Sektion_110()
 
    'dimension (set aside memory for) our variables
    Dim objIE As InternetExplorer
    Dim ele As Object
    Dim y As Integer
 
    'start a new browser instance
    Set objIE = New InternetExplorer
    'make browser visible
    objIE.Visible = True
 
    'navigate to page with needed data
    objIE.Navigate "[URL]http://staderapport/[/URL]"
    
    'wait for page to load
    Do While objIE.Busy = True Or objIE.READYSTATE <> 4: DoEvents: Loop
    
    With objIE.Document
    .getelementbyid("sektionsNr").selectedindex = -2
    .getelementbyid("reports1").Length 2000
    End With
    y = 1
 
    'look at all the 'tr' elements in the 'table' with id 'reports1',
    'and evaluate each, one at a time, using 'ele' variable
    For Each ele In objIE.Document.getelementbyid("reports1").getelementsbytagname("tr")
        'show the text content of 'tr' element being looked at
        Debug.Print ele.textContent
        'each 'tr' (table row) element contains 4 children ('td') elements
        'put text of 1st 'td' in col A
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A" & y).Value = ele.Children(0).textContent
        'put text of 2nd 'td' in col B
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("B" & y).Value = ele.Children(1).textContent
        'put text of 3rd 'td' in col C
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & y).Value = ele.Children(2).textContent
        'put text of 4th 'td' in col D
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & y).Value = ele.Children(3).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("E" & y).Value = ele.Children(4).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("F" & y).Value = ele.Children(5).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G" & y).Value = ele.Children(6).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("H" & y).Value = ele.Children(7).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("I" & y).Value = ele.Children(8).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("J" & y).Value = ele.Children(9).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("K" & y).Value = ele.Children(10).textContent
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("L" & y).Value = ele.Children(11).textContent
        'increment row counter by 1
        
        y = y + 1
    'repeat until last ele has been evaluated
    Next
 
    'save the Excel workbook
    ActiveWorkbook.Save
 
End Sub

Works like a charm, apart from the line
Code:
.getelementbyid("reports1").Length 2000

The website looks like the Picture:



And the relevant source code:


Code:
var

[SIZE=2] table = $([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]'#reports1'[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]);[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]
        
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]var[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] lang = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]"da"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2];[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]
        
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] (lang != [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]'da'[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] && lang != [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]'en'[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]) lang = [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]'en'[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2];[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]
        oTable = table.dataTable({

 

            bProcessing:

            bServerSide:

[SIZE=2]
            bDestroy:

[SIZE=2]
            iDisplayLength: 25,

            bStateSave:

[SIZE=2]
 

            lengthMenu: [[10, 25, 50, 2000], [10, 25, 50, 
[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]"Alle"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]]],[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]
            stateDuration: -1,
[/SIZE]

I tried to Google a solution for quite a while now, and I am not making any progress. Any help would be apppreciated!

Regards
