Searching Webpage for specific text/phrase

[blckngldhwk]

I have a script set up to do a look up using a webpage search form and now I want to be able to have the macro search the page for the phrase 'No records match the criteria' but am unsure how to approach searching for text. Any ideas? Thanks!

See this thread for some ideas :

You could try to find the ID of the web page field storing your phrase 'No records...'. Knowing the id you could than verify the content using InnerText property.

Alternatively you could download the whole page into excel (either using web query, or other download method) and then perform a simple text search within the workbook.

hope this helps
