Sub Scrape()
    Dim Browser As InternetExplorer
    Dim Document As htmlDocument
    Dim Elements As IHTMLElementCollection
    Dim Element As IHTMLElement

    Set Browser = New InternetExplorer
    Browser.Visible = True
    Browser.navigate "http://www.stackoverflow.com"

    Do While Browser.Busy And Not Browser.readyState = READYSTATE_COMPLETE
        DoEvents
    Loop

    Set Document = Browser.Document

    Set Elements = Document.getElementById("hmenus").getElementsByTagName("li")
    For Each Element In Elements
        Debug.Print Element.innerText
        'Questions
        'Tags
        'Users
        'Badges
        'Unanswered
