Mixing
Click innertext on website in a new window with VBA
I'm beginning to use VBA to interact with websites and I stumbled in a problem I couldn't find a solution here.
I'm trying to click on a text that appears on a "new window" (which is not a new window, it's just a square that shows on top of the page and dissapears when I click on the desired line). Here is the code from that "square":
<div id="retornoBuscaDados"><table style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border:
0px currentColor; border-image: none; width: 500px;"><tbody><tr class="par">
<td style="width: 100px; cursor: pointer;">nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
nnnnnnn </td></tr><tr class="impar"><td nowrap="" colspan="1"> </td>
</tr><tr class="par"><td nowrap="" colspan="1"> </td></tr><tr
class="impar"><td nowrap="" colspan="1"> </td></tr><tr class="par"><td
nowrap="" colspan="1"> </td></tr><tr class="impar"><td nowrap=""
colspan="1"> </td></tr><tr class="par"><td nowrap="" colspan="1">
</td></tr><tr class="impar"><td nowrap="" colspan="1"> </td></tr><tr
class="par"><td nowrap="" colspan="1"> </td></tr></tbody></table></div>
The code from the exact line that I want to click is:
<td style="width: 100px; cursor: pointer;">
But what that line is showing is the text "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" (I replaced the actual text to show to you). All the other lines are blank.
I don't know what I can do since until now I was only using getelementbyid("xx").click for the other click steps on my code.

Assuming you are using Internet Explorer (though the CSS selector combination can be applied to HTML document populated from XMLHTTP request)
ie.document.querySelector("#retornoBuscaDados td").Click
Also assuming not in a parent frame/iframe/new window and that you have left time for page to load before attempting to click i.e.
While ie.Busy Or ie.readyState < 4: DoEvents: Wend
ie.document.querySelector("#retornoBuscaDados td").Click
querySelector returns the first match for the specified pattern. The pattern #retornoBuscaDados td is looking for a parent element with id retornoBuscaDados having a child td element. It will retrieve the first child in this instance. You could also use a pseudo selector of #retornoBuscaDados td:first-child
