Retuning a value from <a href=…

[ScooterNorm]

I’m trying to get the value from there <a href… elements. Here's where I'm stuck.
I've done the following but then I can't figure out what to do next: ht.getElementsByClassName("value").getElementsByTagName("a").innerHTML
Thanks for your help,
Here's the HTML which I think is relevant.
...
<div class="double table">
<div class="row">
<div class="key">Correspondent Addr:</div>
<div class="value">
<a href="MyAddr@gmailcom">MyAddr@gmailcom</a>
<a href="My22@gmail.com">My22@gmail.com</a>
</div>
<div class="key">Correspondent Addr Authorized:</div>
<div class="value"> Yes </div>
</div>
</div>
...

Note: I’m a novice at this and any help would be appreciated.

For your first email address...

ht.getElementsByClassName("value")(0).getElementsByTagName("a")(0).innerText

For your second email address...

ht.getElementsByClassName("value")(0).getElementsByTagName("a")(1).innerText

Note the following...

ht.getElementsByClassName("value") refers to the collection of elements with "value" as their class name.

ht.getElementsByClassName("value")(0) refers to the first element in the collection of elements with "value" as their class name.

ht.getElementsByClassName("value")(0).getElementsByTagName("a") refers to the collection of elements with "a" as their tag name within the first element that contains "value" as its class name.

ht.getElementsByClassName("value")(0).getElementsByTagName("a")(0) refers to the first element in the collection of elements with "a" as their tag names withn the first element that contains "value" as its class name.

Hope this helps!

Hey Dominic,
Thanks for sharing these suggestions. With this starting point and a lot of head pounding against the wall, I got it to work.
Only one strange anomaly. About 25% or so of the time the IE page does not load.
Another person suggested looking into using ServerXMLHTTP60 instead of IE since I don't need the web page loaded.
So I'll be looking into that and if you have any pointers about using ServerXMLHTTP60, I'm all ears.
Thanks again and I'll mark this solved by you,
-Norm

Actually, that's the method I too would suggest you use, and it's the alternative method I post in your previous thread, which you'll find here .

OK, great, I'm a bit overloaded with new stuff and I missed it.
Thanks again,
