How To Retrieve The Absolute Position Of An HTML Element
Apr 3, 2008
How to retrieve the absolute coordinates of an HTML or CSS element from the webbrowser control using Visual Basic? I am using VB 2008 Express Edition. I would like to be able to display the control in my application and then using the HTML Document Object Model (I guess?!) get the X and Y coordinates (top, left, bottom, right) of a DIV or other HTML tag.
I am currently trying to read out my absolute cursor position on the screen. I read some threads in the "Legacy Visual Basic (VB 4/5/6)" Forums but this is as far as I get:
This may sound really stupid but I have to ask cause I'm not finding this answer anywhere.I have an application where the user will need to sign up for a new user account on the website [URL]..However when I am using Firefox's plug-in Firebug to view html I am getting something totally different than when I just right click on the site and view the page source.
What I am trying to do is to get the captcha from the website and display it in a picturebox on the application so the user can view the captcha, solve the captcha and then the app post is back to the service for a response.
Here is the source that I am getting using Firefox's Firebug to inspect the element:
<td> <input type="hidden" value="Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK" name="iden"> <img class="capimage" src="/captcha/Oo3Jo1I8bgzK68agMqo3s79ZZib2OkbK.png" alt="i wonder if these things even work"> </td>
[Code]...
Why would the two be showing me two different versions of the HTML?
And how would you be able to grab that source to view in a picturebox using webclient?
I installed VS2008 and just VS2010, both allow me to freely move objects around in the HTML Design View.However, I would like to be able to snap the objects in alignment.It is hard to space text boxes and buttons when everything is free flowing.
Is there a way to get a control's position relative to its parent form, or on the screen in general? Location, Left, and Top properties all seem to reference the control's position relative to its container.I don't want to have to do a summation of coordinates of all the containers of a control just to get it's final position - unless of course it is possible to write a generic sub sub that could do tha

I have only recently discovered the world of fetching online data using XML functions in VB.NET and it has been working well so far. Unfortunately I have hit a hurdle and am unsure as to how I should proceed. Until now I have been working with simple XML files where there was only 1 value to retrieve with a specific XML element path. Now I have an XML which looks like this (apostrophes to represent indentation):
I have been at it for few weeks now and just learning XML and VB but seems like I hit a road block. I tried a few different attempts at doing this and I have no problem displaying the XML file on a webpage using the xpathnavigator class. But then i needed to format into an html table so i took another route and just added the xmldatasource with a formview. So here is my code for that

I need a HTML element location (X and Y) in WebBrowser... Not the OffsetRectangle.Location one where you get a location coordinates inside parent element. I need a location coordinates inside the webbrowser...
When I click button 1 for the first time I recieve the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." but when I click it the second time it returns the elements text perfectly.
I thought the wb.document element might not be instantiated so I've tried navigating to a page (google's homepage) before loading the page I want put with no success.
I also thought that maybe it wasn't giving the page time to load so I added the sub to deal with the documentCompleted event but this also returns nothing (though wb.document.url is set correctly to the webpage I want)
I was looking at a previous post and the poster was talking about htmlelement, so what I want to know is if you can use this function to find a html element on a wb page.I'm trying to make a program that will find the img src url for an image on a website and then return that url to the imagelocation of a picturebox.

1. Some buttons have a site that I want to run them through my program (with button 1) through the following command:WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ID").InvokeMember("click")I look at source code of the sites and see the button, the problem is I did not see the ID is always his, or it finds the Id, but does nothing, what's the problem with this?
WHen we click on site whether left click or right....Control goes to IEDoc_MouseDown event,I just want to ask is that possible to know taht which element is clicked..Suppose we right click on link,is that possible to know it that link is clicked.[code]
I have the following on my interface / webform: <div id="mydiv" class="forceHeight" runat="server" />
now I have a dondition in my code behind where if a certain situation is true I need to remove the forceHeight class from this control. I know in C# you can use:
mydiv.CssClass.Replace("forceHeight", ""); I'm not so sure how you do this using VB? Intellisense doesn't offer me this option?
I have something like this: You answered question 1 correctly. You have been awarded <a href="url"> 1 point</a> . You answered question 2 correctly. You have been awarded <a href="url"> 1 point</a> . You answered question 3 correctly. You have been awarded <a href="url"> 1 point</a> .
You answered all 3 questions correctly! You have been awarded a total of <a href="url"> 3 points</a> .
So basically I want to filter out all those in bold, it should look like this when printed to a textbox: You answered question 1 correctly. You have been awarded 1 point. You answered question 2 correctly. You have been awarded 1 point . You answered question 3 correctly. You have been awarded 1 point. You answered all 3 questions correctly! You have been awarded a total of 3 points.
2. How do I get a value of HTML span element? (I'm not sure how to phrase this but I think you will get it if I show a example..) It goes something like this... <span class="quiz1">Question 1:</span> <span id="q1">Question Here </span> I want text in bold to be displayed in a label. Do I use getAttributeByID here? How do I use it in VB.net?
