    I am looking to click a button on a webpage. The button is located on form1 and does not have a specific ID. Below is the html  for the button:

    <input style="width: 100px;" onclick="javascript: jsSearch();" type="button" value="  Search  ">

    my line of code that I am using is:

    $IE.Document.getElementById(“???”).Click() 

    Is there a way to tell this to look for form1 and click the search button?

    Thank you,

    You will have to find the ID of the search button.   That is different on every page.

    Not as long as you're using $IE.Document.getElementById(“???”).Click()

    Can't you just give the button an ID or a name attribute?

    As jrv suggested, you should identify the 'id' for the button you want to click.

    below is an example one for identifying the 'id' for 'Features' button.
