title: VBA - IE GetElementByID not working
body: <p>I'm having some trouble with entering a text in a search box when after I what I think to be the correcet ID tag is. I got the ID from the page's source code. I've done this before with other websites. Can someone please help me out? Is there another way to do this?</p>
  
  <pre><code>Sub FileUpload()
  
  Dim IEexp as Object
  IEexp.visible = True
  IEexp.Navigate ("www.example.com")
  
  'this is where the problem
  IEexp.Document.GetElementByID("step1_id_bean_newSupportingDoc_description").Value _ 
  = "monthly update"
  
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a "Automation Error The Object invoked has disconnected from its clients"</p>
  
  <p>Source Code where I pulled the ID from:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td class="Label"&gt;Description&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;td class="Data"&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="bean.newSupportingDoc.description" size="60" maxlength="250" value="" id="step1_id_bean_newSupportingDoc_description" class="NoBorder"/&gt;
  &lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
