Page not loading e.cancel = true

Why would this not work? I get the new window to open yet it does not load. When I right click to veiw source it is empty.
It will load without this in IE.
The Address looks normal

Code:

Private Sub WebBrowser2_NewWindow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser2.NewWindow

        Dim myElement As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.ActiveElement
        Dim target As String = myElement.GetAttribute("href")

        Dim newInstance As New Form5
        newInstance.Show()
        newInstance.WebBrowser1.Navigate(target)
        'cancel opening IE window
        e.Cancel = True
    End Sub

Thank You

check your target... make sure the url is correct.

This is how I have handled the NewWindow. Set a reference to Microsoft Internet Controls on the COM tab of the Add Reference Dialog and use code similar to this:

Code:

---

  Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.vbforums.com")
    Dim activeXBrowser As SHDocVw.WebBrowser = CType(WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance, SHDocVw.WebBrowser)
    AddHandler activeXBrowser.NewWindow3, AddressOf axBrowserNewWindow3
  End Sub

  Private Sub axBrowserNewWindow3(ByRef ppDisp As Object, ByRef cancel As Boolean, dwflags As UInteger, bstrUrlContent As String, bstrUrl As String)
    Dim frm As New Form1
    frm.Show()
    frm.WebBrowser1.Navigate(bstrUrl)
    cancel = True
  End Sub

  Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(sender As Object, e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
    e.Cancel = True
  End Sub

That worked I get this error though. Can I put it in try command to control that? Or how? I do not have any private declarations also on Netframe 4.
