I am attempting to write some code that auto submits to a few search
engines. The code is crashing when submitting to DMOZ on the
wbbrowser.document.all("submit").click() line. This same line of code works
on Yahoo but not when done the 2nd time under DMOZ. My code is below. the
DMOZ Code is the last set.

The error I am getting is Public member 'click' on type
'DISPHTMLELEMENTCollection' no found.

Private Sub cmdStart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles cmdStart.Click

Dim i As Integer

Dim SubUrl As String

Dim SubName As String

Dim SubTitle As String

Dim SubDesc As String

Dim SubEmail As String

Dim SubKeywords As String



If Me.lsvDomains.Items.Count > 0 Then



For i = 0 To Me.lsvDomains.Items.Count - 1

If Me.lsvDomains.Items(i).Checked Then

SubUrl = Me.lsvDomains.Items(i).Text

SubTitle = Me.lsvDomains.Items(i).SubItems(1).Text

SubName = Me.lsvDomains.Items(i).SubItems(2).Text

SubEmail = Me.lsvDomains.Items(i).SubItems(3).Text

SubDesc = Me.lsvDomains.Items(i).SubItems(4).Text

Are you sure it works the first time on DMOZ? I am pretty sure it dont.

The error is because the page on DMOZ has two Submit tags, one <a
name="submit"> link and one button, you get a collection, therefor it dont
have a click() function.

a dirty fix would be
wbBrowser.Document.All("submit").item(0).click()

Or

wbBrowser.Document.All("submit").item(1).click()

depending if the button comes first or last...
