The video shows you how to open and work with multiple tabs in Google Chrome using Selenium Basic for VBA. You'll learn how to use the window.open javascript method, how to pass a URL into the method's parameter and how to switch to the tab that was opened. You'll also see how to open multiple tabs and loop through them to extract information before closing each one down. The final example in the video shows how to navigate to the Yahoo Finance website and extract a table of data for each date in a drop down list.
See our full range of VBA training resources, or test your knowledge of VBA with one of our VBA skills assessment tests.

Hi! I don't know what code you've written but this is fairly standard, all the elements have unique Ids so they're fairly easy to reference. The following code works:
Private cd As Selenium.ChromeDriver
Sub LoginToMoney()
Dim LoginForm As Selenium.WebElement
Dim EmailInput As Selenium.WebElement
Dim PasswordInput As Selenium.WebElement
Dim LoginButton As Selenium.WebElement
Set cd = New Selenium.ChromeDriver
cd.Start
cd.Get "https://accounts.moneycontrol.com/mclogin/"
Set LoginForm = cd.FindElementByCss("#login_form")
Set EmailInput = LoginForm.FindElementByCss("#email")
Set PasswordInput = LoginForm.FindElementByCss("#pwd")
Set LoginButton = LoginForm.FindElementByCss("#ACCT_LOGIN_SUBMIT")
EmailInput.SendKeys "my email address"
PasswordInput.SendKeys "my password"
LoginButton.Click
End Sub
I hope it helps.

First of all, I would like to appreciate the content you shared with us and the way you explained Selenium use in VBA. I didn't get it anywhere else. I am enjoying using it in my programs. But I am facing one problem and not getting the solution anywhere.
Can I keep the Browser (Web page) open even after quitting the Sub/Function. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
The browser remains open as long as the variable you use to reference it remains in scope. In the video you can see that the browser remains open even when the subroutine ends because the variable is declared at the module level. You can declare the variable as Public to extend its scope even further.
I hope that helps!
