is there an HTML Reader object? **resolved**

[WALDO]

I'm looking for an object that will let me supply it with some HTML code (submitted by the user) and return a collection of objects like the HTML DOM. I'm trying not to do this with a reg ex, but If I must, I will.

For example:
A user submits some HTML. It has some links in it. I want to be able to readjust those links as if by saying

'Total psuedocode
'Take no stock in poor syntax
 
Dim objDoc As New HTMLDocumentReader 'I wish
Dim colA As [i]Elements[/i]
 
colA = objDoc.document.getElementsByTagName("a")
For i = 0 To colA.length - 1
    colA(i).href= "MyHREF"
Next

I haven't found one with .net yet (that doesn't mean it doesn't exist though). I settled on using the old COM parser for the things you are trying to do.

It kinda sux, but this is how I got it to run:
I had to create 2 COM references. (Damn interop)
MSHTML.dll
SHDocVw.dll

Dim htmlDOM As IHTMLDocument2
        Dim brwTest As New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer() 'WebBrowser()
 
        brwTest.Navigate("about:blank")
        htmlDOM = brwTest.Document
        'Load some user submitted source
        htmlDOM.body.innerHTML = Request.Form("HTMLSource")
 
        'Play with some elements
        Dim objI As IHTMLElement
        For Each objI In htmlDOM.images
            objI.src = "/KnowledgeBase/Support/4/test.gif"
        Next
 
        Me.TextBox1.Text = htmlDOM.body.innerHTML
 
        htmlDOM = Nothing
        brwTest.Dispose()
