VBA for Web Development: Creating Dynamic Web Pages

 

VBA is not just limited to automating tasks in Excel, it can also be used for web development. In this blog post, we will discuss how VBA can be used to create dynamic web pages.

Dynamic web pages are web pages that change in real-time based on user input or other external factors. They are typically created using programming languages like JavaScript, but VBA can also be used to create dynamic web pages.

One way to create dynamic web pages with VBA is to use the Internet Explorer object. Internet Explorer is a web browser that comes with Windows and can be accessed through VBA. You can use VBA to automate Internet Explorer and create dynamic web pages.

Here are some examples of what you can do with VBA and Internet Explorer/Chrome:

 

1. Fill in web forms automatically

If you need to fill out web forms repeatedly, you can use VBA to automate the process. You can write a VBA macro that opens the web page, fills in the form, and submits it automatically.
 

2. Extract data from web pages

You can use VBA to extract data from web pages and store it in Excel. For example, if you need to extract stock prices from a financial website, you can write a VBA macro that opens the website, navigates to the stock price page, and extracts the data.
 

3. Create interactive web pages

You can use VBA to create interactive web pages that respond to user input. For example, you can create a web page that allows users to enter data and then displays the results in real-time.
