vba html div,excel - VBA fire event on empty HTML div - Stack Overflow

I try to automate some manual processes by using VBA automation. One of them is to click on a element that has an empty content and at the moment I am not able to figure out how to deal with it

The HTML code that I am trying to click on:

The VBA code used is:

HTMLDoc.getElementById("searchcombobox-1077-inputEl").Value = '11xx111'

Set click_el = HTMLDoc.querySelector("#searchcombobox-1077-trigger-picker")

With click_el

.Focus

.FireEvent "onclick"

End With

What should be the approach that I need to take into consideration since the div element that I need to click on is empty?

Thanks,
