    For complet HTML source code use

    s = WebBrowser1.Document.documentelement.innerHTML

    for text only then use

    s = WebBrowser1.Document.documentelement.innertext


    There is also

    outerHTML and outerText. Just subsitute these to see exaclty what you get

    I believe you'll find those in the object browser on your VB IDE but even if you do it won't really explain it. I learn these things from here by putting everything I can about WebBrowser I see here at this forum into a data base. There's just a ton of stuff around here about this.

    Re: "WebBrowserObject.DocumentText" in "VB6" ...??? to view html source

    Can you tell me how you detect 'documentelement.innerHTML' after 'Document'
    If you just want to use the inntellisense feature of vb6 on Document (IE DOM) element, first you have to reference the MSHTML.TBL (Microsoft HTML Object Library), then you just have to declare an object for HTMLDocument.

    vb Code:
    1. Option Explicit
    2. Private WB1doc As HTMLDocument
    3.  
    4. Private Sub Command1_Click()
    5.   'Will show you the html content. The Intellisense can be used on wb1doc.
    6.   Debug.Print WB1doc.documentElement.innerHTML
    7. End Sub
    8.  
    9. Private Sub Form_Load()
    10.   Me.Show: DoEvents
    11.   WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.google.com" 'go here
    12. End Sub
    13.  
    14. Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
    15.   Set WB1doc = WebBrowser1.Document 'each time you navigate in the webbrowser control is complete, the wb1doc object will be renewed once.
    16. End Sub

    By using the Frames() object array, you can retrieve each frame one by one. There, you can gain access to its content.

    If the Frame has a name then
    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Document.frames("name-of-frame").Document.??????
    If the Frame does not have a name then use index. Zero means the 1st Frame and ????? means the object you are interested in within that frame
    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Document.frames(0).Document.??????
    Example, I am interested in a textbox within a frame that has a name
    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Document.frames("room").Document.All("userid").Value = txtUSER.Text
    If the Frame did not have a name and it was the 2nd Frame on the page then
    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Document.frames(1).Document.All("userid").Value = txtUSER.Text

    You have to download the sign in page, because there are a lots of hidden fields on yahoo page, that your browser control have to send/forward. It is because of yahoo security. However, you can fill in the form and press the submit button, all by 'programmatically'.

    There was a thread a few days ago, about the same experiment.

    This is not intended to apply to any given website. It is example only and every website will have different format
    Code:
    WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.somesite.com/login.php?user=usermame&pass=password"

    Unfortunately Yahoo will not accept the params in get properties, but you have to send them as form values, by using the post method.

    @nilesh: to get access to the restricted area of yahoo, it's not enough to simply send the username and password. There are a lots of hidden fields on the login form (in notepad, you will see them), that is sent by the server to the client when you download the login page, then your client have to pass the values back to the server, to get the proper authentication from yahoo, that gives you the full access. It is bit like the chapta, but it goes hidden, between the client and server.

    Re: [RESOLVED] "WebBrowserObject.DocumentText" in "VB6" ...??? to view html source

    I'm sorry, you are right. However, he is want to use this workaround for any kind of website. But, most of the login scripts are accept the username, even the password fields in POST data (form fields), that is cannot be sent in get properties (?prop=val&prop2=val2 ..etc is invalid). The only get properties that are exists, the page navigation decriptors, and sometimes a session id, but its irrevelant until he gets the access to a website.

    I also note here, that not every website uses "Username" and "Password" fields, but these are mostly, some uniquely named fields.

    Re: [RESOLVED] "WebBrowserObject.DocumentText" in "VB6" ...??? to view html source

    You can use the IE DOM (WebBrowser1.Document) object, to access any parts of a html document you already got, or you can also use the *.Document.Write() method, to create a html document, that is you can access by using this object. You have to create a form tag that will include the appropirate fields you want to send, and then you have to fill in the values (or just create them by including their default value). Then, you can execute the submit button you created also, to submit the values to the page on the url you provided in the form tag.

    Visit w3schools.com website, to learn more about the form tags, just like the IE DOM object. But you can also google it for more examples, how javascript use it, and does webform automations.

    Re: [RESOLVED] "WebBrowserObject.DocumentText" in "VB6" ...??? to view html source

    This is a way to make a html page via code and then work it like original page coding...

    But this method more complex to write such code (i think it's difficult to me).

    Navigate function have other optional parameter..
    Navigate( [Url as String], [flages], [TargetFrameName], [PostData], [Headers] )

    Can u tell me why this parameter use for...???

    I'm sorry you are right!

    A search ( http://www.vbforums.com/search.php ) on the vbforums, drop me the result. You may also want to use the search function on the forums, instead of asking every single steps. Thats why the posts wont be deleted.
