How can you submit a form in a webbrowser based solely on its submit button name?

[qpabani]

Lets say a form has a submit button, and its text is 'Post'

(<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Post"> )

how can you submit that button by using its value?

Anyone know?

[crptcblade]

For x = 0 To WB.Document.forms(0).elements.length
  If WB.Document.forms(0).elements(x).Value = "Post" Then
    WB.Document.forms(0).elements(x).submit()
    Exit For
  End If
Next x

Something similar to that.

but what if the form is not certain? like.. the post can be in form,2,3,4, or even more..

You should be able to loop through the forms, too.

how ?

i dont know how many forms there are on a page.. is there a variable that contains this number?

Maybe something like this:

Dim x as Long
Dim y as Long
 
For y = 0 To WB.Document.forms.length - 1
  For x = 0 To WB.Document.forms(y).elements.length - 1
    If WB.Document.forms(y).elements(x).Value = "Post" Then
      WB.Document.forms(y).elements(x).submit()
      Exit For
    End If
  Next x
Next y

yay it looks good

gonna try it now on my brand spankin new visual studio.net :P

Try changing this line:
WebBrowser1(0).Document.Forms(y).elements(x).submit
------To this line------
WebBrowser1(0).Document.Forms(y).submit

-OR-

Try using "Click" instead of "submit"
WebBrowser1(0).Document.Forms(y).elements(x).Click
