    Resolved Search webpage for a word or phrase?

    Hey everyone!
    I have a simple question, and I hope it has a simple answer

    Here is the code I have so far:
    Code:
    If browser.LocationURL = "www.anysite.com" Then
    This works fine, but instead of checking the location, I want it to check if the webpage has the word "blah" in it. I thought maybe checking browser.document or something, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

    Thanks!

    You might look at this article and just search the resulting string with InStr.

    Thanks! But I'm not great with strings-how can I implement InStr into an If statement?

    Nevermind, I have answered my own question!

    Code:
    If InStr(text, "blah") = 0 Then
    Changing to answerd!
