Hey,

I would like to detect if a webpage element reacts to being clicked, if it doesn't react to being clicked using .click - I'd like to use fireevent to finish the click. I'm unsure how to determine the element has or has not been clicked. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.

I have a solution, not perfect so if you have a better idea pls let me know.

Before running the fireevent, I check to see if the browser.readystate <> Readystate_Complete. If it isn't Readystate_Complete then I call the fire event on the assumption the webpage isn't doing anything.
