Open a web page and click a button in VB script

Question

I want to open a webpage in internet explorer and navigate to a page and click on a button in the page using vbscript. For example

i I want to open IE and navigate to "http://www.gmail.com",
wait for the page to load,
and fill the username and password into the username and password text boxes and hit the sign in button using VB script.

This was the only thing i could find (only to open a page in IE ) :

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("iexplore.exe www.gmail.com", 1)

please help me out.

Take a look at this. It might help: social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ar/vbgeneral/thread/… — eboix

Something like:

 Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") 
 Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
 IE.Navigate "http://mydomain.com/form.asp" 
 IE.Visible = True 
 Wscript.Sleep 2000 
 IE.Document.All.Item("Item1Id").Value = "1000" 
 IE.Document.All.Item("Item2Id").Value = "1001" 
 IE.Document.All.Item("Item3Id").Value = "Some Text" 
 Call IE.Document.Forms(0).Submit()
