Hi Andrew

I am very impressed with the web scraping course and it is presented very well.  i am however a bit stuck on the code where it stops on the For HTMLButton ... loop stating an object is required.   I have been over the code and cannot see anything different to what you have in the video, can you please help on this?

Sub GetHTMLDocument()

    Dim IE As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer
    Dim HTMLDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
    Dim HTMLInput As MSHTML.IHTMLElement
    Dim HTMLButtons As MSHTML.IHTMLElementCollection
    Dim HTMLButton As MSHTML.IHTMLElement
   
    IE.Visible = True
    IE.navigate "wiseowl.co.uk"
   
    Do While IE.ReadyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
   
    Loop

    Set HTMLDoc = IE.Document
    Set HTMLInput = HTMLDoc.getElementById("what")
    HTMLInput.Value = "Excel VBA"
   
    Set HTMLBittons = HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("button")
   
    For Each HTMLButton In HTMLButtons
    Debug.Print HTMLButton.className, HTMLButton.tagName, HTMLButton.ID, HTMLButton.innerText
    Next HTMLButton
   
End Sub

Thanks in advance
