VBA IE Internet Explorer Automation Through ElementID

[mrmmickle1]

I am trying to figure out how to do two things.

1. Fill in a Login Form Based on an Element ID >>

Set doc = IE.Document 
Set el = doc.getElementById("someElementId") 
el.value = "Username"   ' Is this correct??  How would I complete this statement?
If Not el Is Nothing Then
MsgBox el.innerText

2. Press/Click a button by an element ID >>

Set doc = IE.Document
Set el = doc.getElementById("someElementId")
el.click  ' HOw do I perform a simple click?

I have gotten to do this in the past by using some code that uses:

Dim htmlInput As MSHTML.HTMLInputElement

 Set HTMLdoc = .Document
            Set htmlColl = HTMLdoc.getElementsByTagName("INPUT")
            Do While HTMLdoc.ReadyState <> "complete": DoEvents: Loop
                For Each htmlInput In htmlColl
                    If htmlInput.Name = "UserName" Then
                        htmlInput.Value = "USername Here
                    Else
                        If htmlInput.Name = "Password" Then
                            htmlInput.Value = "Password Here"

But it doesn't seem to work for the website I am toying around with so I was hoping to try a different method.

I have failed miserably searching the internet for information on IE Automation through VBA. I was hoping that someone may be able to give me a boost!
