Getting HTML source code

VB Code:

Form1.txtHTML = Form1.WebBrowser1.document.body.innerHTML

currently i have a web browser in which i need to get the souce code for the page i am viewing, previously i was using the above code with the ie control, but i have swapped this control for the firefox activex control due to other issues. This now causes an error of

"Automation Error
Library not registered"

i have to get the code from this browser window as using a different control takes me to the home page of the site (need to be logged in to view this page)

...so noone knows how to get the source code for a webpage using the firefox control

Looks like you need to register the firefox control first :)

Why don't you use Inet (MS Internet Transfer Control) to get the source? :confused:

VB Code:

Dim source As String
    source = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.blablabla.com")

Cool site gavio :thumb: ;)

@gavio: last line of the post... i cannot use another control to access the page as the way i access this page is to go to one page, sign in, and then go to another page, and just loading the page direct with inet gives me the code for the sign-in page. theres probably a long-winded way of doing it using inet but it has to repeat this a lot so i want to take as short a time as possible

and the component is registered, as everything else works, it loads pages and acts as a browser fine. this is the line that causes the error:

VB Code:

strSourceCode = WebBrowser1.document.body.innerHTML

You said in post one you were using the Firefox control because of other reasons....what are the other reasons as I have used the Webbrowser control to get the source of a page without any problems?

yea getting source from the ie webbrowser control was no problem at all, however for some reason ie webbrowser kept getting errors on every page that i either had to click yes "continue running scripts" or set silent=true and then it didnt render the web page correctly

Are you sure the java scripts errors were on every page? Do you have an example of a site that gives the error?
