Get Array From Web Page

I have a VB application with a webbrowser. I would like to populate a combobox on my app with the values from a specific combobox on a webpage in the browser.

The first step seems to be getting the values from the array in the web page. Here is some code from the webpage source:

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
  var opts = new Array(5);
  var values = new Array(5);
  var clients = new Array()
  clients.name = 'clients'
  var clientsPro = new Array()
  clientsPro.name = 'clientsPro'

---

The 'clients' array has the values that i want to use in my application. How do get them?

Parse the HTML source of the page for the "<option>" tags. The .InnerText (I believe) property will hold the values you need.

You can add them to an array or a List as you parse.

Here's a quick reference for parsing the HTML: http://stateofidleness.com/2011/01/l...trieve-values/

That works, except that there are 6 select boxes on the page, and I only want the values from one of them. Is there a good way to narrow down which <option> tags i want to select?

Of course there is. Could you give a link to the page you're wanting to do this on?

Actually, i just figured it out!

Code:

---

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("copyClient").GetElementsByTagName("option")

---

It grabs all the option elements in the copyClient dropdown box. Thanks!

There ya go!

Glad you figured it out. :)
