I am attempting to use VBA code to navigate through multiple links with each taking me to a new destination each time (this from a VBA standpoint I understand).

I have encountered a link with href="javascript:void(null)"...

My question revolves around trying to dig deeper into the URL that sits behind this href.

I was thinking that if I could determine this URL it would save me the steps of having to click multiple links to get to my end destination...

The HTML is below:

<a name="SectionElements" onclick="return DashboardReportLink('saw.dll?Go&amp;Path=%2fshared%2fXXXX%20XXXXX%20XXXXX%2fELXXX%20-%20ED%20Visits%20by%20XXXX%20of%20Stay&amp;Action=promptstart&amp;style=Custom&amp;Options=mrd', 'd:dashboard~p:usdl82p418i15ed6~r:pm1vepvlehbshlkn','Dashboard&amp;PortalPath=%2fshared%2fBackOffice%20Dashboard%20Group%2f_portal%2fBack%20Office&amp;Page=XXXX%20and%20XXXXX', true)" href="javascript:void(null)">XX803 - XX XXXX XX XXXX XX XXX</a>

With the HTML after "onclick" I guess I'm essentially asking if it is possible to access this without prompting VBA to click?

Thanks!
