$ie.navigate('http://www.somewhere.com')
while($ie.busy) {sleep 1}
$link = $ie.Document.getElementsByTagName('A') | where-object {$_.innerText -eq 'Click here'}

Thanks your help i had to use following lines to access frame's content. $dmeContExpFrame = $ie.Document.getElementById("ContentFrame") $dmecontexpframedoc = $dmeContExpFrame.contentWindow $dmeContExpFramedoc2 = $dmecontexpframedoc.Document $links = $dmeContExpFramedoc2.getElementsByTagName('A') $links | select innerText – user423487 Sep 06 '10 at 01:29

what does the 'A' in getElementsbyTagName indicate? – Clint Eastwood Jan 23 '15 at 21:16

1I'd guess the `A` is from the HTML ` – user4317867 Feb 03 '15 at 23:31

if the innerText is variable you can use Regex as following: `{$_.innerText -Match '^a.*'}` – bnu Jun 26 '15 at 07:31

Its works
while($ie.busy) {sleep 5}
$dmeContExpFrame = $ie.Document.getElementById("portfolio_frameset")
$dmecontexpframedoc = $dmeContExpFrame.contentWindow
$dmeContExpFramedoc2 = $dmecontexpframedoc.Document
$click = $dmeContExpFramedoc2.getElementsByTagName("b") | ?{$_.innerText -Match "Monitor Library"}
$click.click()
