VB.NET Webbrowser automated clicking problem

[johnwillmikul]

I want to be able to login to paypal for a user so their balance shows up in a box. I want to do this through a webbrowser though. The only problem is that it won't let me. For sites like gmail, yahoo, microsoft, etc. getting the element by id name and setting a value of username and pass then clicking a button using Invokemember("click") usually works. Not for paypal though....how can I do this, and why is this happening?

Paypal does have an API. I don't have the time to crawl through it, but that might be better for you (if you can get access to that sort of information).

Ok, yeah, well paypal is also just an example. I have encountered another site with this, and it kinda pissed me off, lol. I was wondering if there is anyway to do this in a webbrowser

I know. It's terrible that all these sites that protect large amounts of money on behalf of people worldwide are trying to make themselves more resistant to hacking by preventing auto log-ins and other well known phishing/hacking tactics. Good Lord! Where will it end?

LOL That made my day xD. Actually I am not making a phishing program (not that evil >:) I was making a program that auto-verifies your paypal. Unfortunantly, a little bit harder than I thought with this click and fill problem.
