Walk IE object for JAVA tag/ID Names

[Cotton9]

Have a JAVA based web page we are attempting to click a button on. There is no source presented under IE View/Source. How do we identify the getelementsTabName("???") string? We have no access to the web page source.

Is there a way to walk the object in Excel object browser to locate all the TagNames or ID strings?

OR is there a simpler method to identify and click the target button?

Thanks,

Daryl

Need to determine the export button tag name or Id of a Sun Java button to download the displayed WEB page. The web page is a SUN application generated page so we do not have access to 'any' internal names or tags on the page.
Below is the code we have to open and wait for the page to complete loading.

Sub ztestfile()

    Dim oIE As Object  
    Dim cURL As String
    Dim lLoadSucccess As Boolean
    Dim nButton As Integer

    lLoadSuccess = False
    cURL = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://internalwebsite.mil"[/URL]

    Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

    oIE.Visible = True
    lLoadSuccess = LoadWebPage(oIE, cURL)  ' wait for page load

    ' click export button to begin download process

    ' ????? how to click button ????

    ' process exported report and re-distributed via e-mail
end sub

Any ideas on how to click the export button or determinte its name/ID? Below is the VBA command/s we are attempting to use. Maybe another method?

oIE.Document.getElementsByName( <buttonName> ).click
oIE.Document.getElementsByID( <buttonID> ).click

Searched may web sites looking for examples to no avail. Everthing we have tried returns and error or empty variable.
Without being able to click the button the project is dead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
