Hello everybody,

Usually, I look for solutions on the internet and step by step try to understand what is happening so I can adjust the code to fit my needs. But in this case, I am kinda stuck.
Problem:I want to fill in a web form using VBA code. I can fill in some text fields, select a radio button etc... But the dropdown list is giving me headaches.

I have found some code which seems to (only) highlight the item that I want. But it's only visible when I click on the drop down box. And it seems like that it's not actually clicking/loading that value. When the option is highlighted (by my code), I also cannot click on anything else anymore. Normally, the second drop down box would appear when the first category is selected.





Code:
Sub FillInWebform()    

    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    IE.Visible = True
    IE.navigate "https://www.2dehands.be/plaats/"
    Application.StatusBar = "Submitting"
    
    While IE.Busy
        DoEvents
    Wend
    
     IE.document.getElementById("manual-option").Click 'clicking on the radio button to show the drop down field


    Set Title = IE.document.getElementById("level1-option")
    Title.selectedIndex = 40
    
    Set Title = IE.document.getElementById("price")
    Title.selectedIndex = 1
    
   


    IE.Quit
    Set IE = Nothing



End Sub
