Hi,

I've created a VB script which connects to a web page and generates a HTML table with several fields. I want to fetch one particular field value by giving the corresponding another field value.

example: suppose below is the table.

column1 column2 column3 column4
a101 100 04:00 05:00
a102 102 05:00 03:00

So I need to fetch only column3 value for a101 using VB script.

I've tried document.getElementById(columnname).innerHTML but it didn't work.

Please help me out.

Can you tell us why innerHTML didn't work?

Solution 1

Why not generate individual ids for the cells and then call them that way. for each

in your table assign it an id "r#c#". In this scenario you would be looking for

or

based on how you do your numbering. Then all you would need to do is document.getElementById('r#c#').innerHTML.
