Q: VBA - Click on a button in IE that appears not to be a Button I am trying to run a vba code that:
1 - access a site (https://www.protestosp.com.br/consulta-de-protesto/)
2 - enter some information
3 - Click on a button "Consultar" (here is the problem)!
Problem description: I am not able to click on the button (I am thinking this is not a button, but I dont really know).
<input class="btn-padrao blue borderEffect2 mt-3 hoverEffect wider3" type="button" onclick="ValidarConsulta(this);" value="CONSULTAR">
in my current code, i am using:
```Set frm = IE.Document.GetElementsByclass("btn-padrao blue borderEffect2 mt-3 hoverEffect wider3")
frm.submit```


A: I suggest trying to loop through input elements on the page and check its value. If the value is CONSULTAR then try to click it.
Example VBA code:
Sub demo()

    Dim IE  
    Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    IE.Visible = True
    IE.navigate "https://Your_URL_will_be_here..."

    Do While IE.Busy
        Application.Wait DateAdd("s", 1, Now)
    Loop
     
   Set clickEvent = IE.document.createEvent("HTMLEvents")
   clickEvent.initEvent "click", True, False
   
   Set elem1 = IE.document.getElementById("AbrangenciaNacional")
   elem1.Click
   elem1.dispatchEvent clickEvent
   
   IE.document.getElementById("TipoDocumento").Value = "2"
   
   IE.document.getElementById("Documento").Value = "12345"

   'Below is code to loop through inputs, find the button and click it.
    Set elems = IE.document.getElementsByTagName("input")
    For Each elem In elems
        If (elem.Value) = "CONSULTAR" Then
            elem.Click
            elem.dispatchEvent clickEvent
            Exit For
        End If
    Next elem

End Sub 

Output:

You can see that code is clicking the CONSULTAR button and the page is showing the error because the Document number is not valid.
You can try to pass the correct values and try to test this code on your side.
