    Instr vs DOM vs MSHTML vs CSS vs ???

    I wondering what, if anything, I'm missing.

    VB does a great job of finding a character or string with Instr.
    Since I'm not well versed in Web page authoring (HTML) I was wondering if there is a better way, other than Instr, to extract (parse) web data. I've read most of this forums posts on web parsing as well as google searches.

    Using the attached HTML file (saved in text format) as an example, I want to extract the table near the bottom of the file. A search for "yfnc_tablehead1"
    will get to the beginning of the table.

    QUESTIONS:

    1) The web page appears to list a CSS format. Is this of any value with MSHTML?
    2) Is there any way to get a list of all tag codes and deal with this as XML?
    3) What about an HTML page that is not XML compliant -- no ending tags?
    Thanks
    David
