Good One For Web People

hey all,

What i'm trying to do is the following:

I have some code that searches the webbrowser control's current page for links!
Now what i need it to do is:
1) Navigate to a page search for links. then
2) Navigate to next page search for links then continue this for all 6 sites!

Now when it searches for links it calls a sub. I need to call it each time.

Anyone have an idea.
I know i need a loop somewhere but how!

thanks

Here's some code to play with.
The 2 subs will list all the href of the Links, or the outerText of the Links.
Make a Reference to the MSHTML.lib(Microsoft HTML Object Library).

Form Code:

VB Code:

Dim doc As HTMLDocument
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.hairdos.com/frameset.htm"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    Set doc = Nothing
End Sub
 
Private Sub WebBrowser1_BeforeNavigate2(ByVal pDisp As Object, _
URL As Variant, Flags As Variant, TargetFrameName As Variant, _
PostData As Variant, Headers As Variant, Cancel As Boolean)
    Set doc = Nothing
End Sub
 
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
    Set doc = WebBrowser1.Document
    If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Object) Then
        ListAllLinks doc, List1
        'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
    End If
End Sub
 
 
Public Sub ListAllLinkUrls(doc As HTMLDocument, List As ListBox)
    Dim i As Long
    Dim x As Long
    
    If doc.frames.length = 0 Then
        For i = 0 To doc.links.length - 1
            List.AddItem doc.links(i).href
        Next i
    Else
        For i = 0 To doc.frames.length - 1
            For x = 0 To doc.frames(i).Document.links.length - 1
                List.AddItem doc.frames(i).Document.links(x).href
            Next x
        Next i
    End If
End Sub
 
Public Sub ListAllLinks(doc As HTMLDocument, List As ListBox)
    Dim i As Long
    Dim x As Long
    
    If doc.frames.length = 0 Then
        For i = 0 To doc.links.length - 1
            If doc.links(i).outerText <> "" Then
                List.AddItem doc.links(i).outerText
            End If
        Next i
    Else
        For i = 0 To doc.frames.length - 1
            For x = 0 To doc.frames(i).Document.links.length - 1
                If doc.frames(i).Document.links(x).outerText <> "" Then
                    List.AddItem doc.frames(i).Document.links(x).outerText
                End If
            Next x
        Next i
    End If
End Sub

To have it navigate from web-page to web-page try this.

VB Code:

Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
    Set doc = WebBrowser1.Document
    If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Object) Then
        If URL = "http://www.first-page.com" Then
            ListAllLinks doc, List1
            'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
            WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.second-page.com"
        Elseif URL = "http://www.second-page.com" Then
            ListAllLinks doc, List1
            'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
            WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.third-page.com"
        Elseif URL = "http://www.third-page.com" Then
            ListAllLinks doc, List1
            'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
            WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.fourth-page.com"
        End If      
    End If
End Sub

Try

Code:

---

Dim objCol as object
Dim objEl as object
' webb.document.Anchors gets only anchors with Name or ID
' according to the doc.
Set objCol = webb.Document.GetElementsByTagName("A")
For Each objEl in objCol
  .....
Next

---

after that, go for DHTML on www.MSDN.microsoft.com under Web Development

cheers!

Bloodeye:
I get the error ByRef type mismatch and it highlights this
ListAllLinks doc, list1 in particular the list1 bit!

Any ideas

Did you put List1 on your form as listbox?

oh der oh derr!
I called my list box links thanks John!

But it didnt change pages nor did it put anything in the list box?

I'm probably bieng stupid again. Seems i'm having one of those days!

:)

Try

Code:

---

    Select Case Lcase(URL)
    Case URL = "http://www.first-page.com" Then
            ListAllLinks doc, List1
            'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
            WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.second-page.com"
    Case "http://www.second-page.com" Then
            ListAllLinks doc, List1
            'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
            WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.third-page.com"
      Case "http://www.third-page.com" Then
            ListAllLinks doc, List1
            'ListAllLinkUrls doc, List1
            WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.fourth-page.com"
        End Select

I'm not entirely sur what yoa are doing. To visit a link, I find it by hook or crook with webb.Document.GetElementsByTagName .GetelementByName etc then
Set objEle = found
objele.Click.
