How do I check if an HTML element exists? This element will only "show" on a certain event. ex: numbers in a non-number textbox or something. I tried
If WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByName("ElementName")
But that won't work, because the element "is in" the HTML, even though the page doesn't show it yet.
Is there a way to check if an element is in the webbrowser1.document ?
I can click the button fine, IF the element is on the page, but sometimes i get to the end page, where i just have the "back" button, and no forward button.[code]...
My current code:
If webbrowser.document.getElementById("login")
I'm not sure what comes after it.... I've read about and it seems for JS its a simple (or similar to);
{If(document.getelementbyid("login"))
{ if true}
{if false}}
but for VB?
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
View 2 RepliesI'm using HtmlAgilityPack to parse HTML. I want to check if an element has a specific attribute. I want to check whether an <a> tag has the href attribute.
Dim doc As HtmlDocument = New HtmlDocument()
doc.Load(New StringReader(content))
Dim root As HtmlNode = doc.DocumentNode
Dim anchorTags As New List(Of String)
For Each link As HtmlNode In root.SelectNodes("//a")
If link.HasAttributes("href") Then doSomething() 'this doesn't work because hasAttributes only checks whether an element has attributes or not

I would like to know please how to check whether a string exists or not in a html code. I'm executing a for loop. Each time it checks a different url, so I want to be able to check each time if for example "<img" exists .
P.S: What's the difference between using
webrowser1.navigate
AND
dim request webrequest
request = WebRequest.Create
etc...
Just like the title says, I have a webbrowser and I need to determine if the element exists or not before I invoke it.
View 1 RepliesThis 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?
HTML
<input type="text" id="id1" name="id1" value="myvalue" title="id1" >
How would I get "myvalue"? I've tried using .InnerText/.InnerHTML, but neither work. Instead of "myvalue" it will return "".
I'm trying to read an innerHTML string from an element on a webpage. I've loaded the page using the webbrowser browser class.

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.

View 5 Repliessee if an object is already in a generic List(Of T) than the way I am currently doing it? The way I do it at the moment is like so:I have a method that I call each time I want to check to see if an object exists in the list (if it already exists I do not want to add it again) and the list to check is passed in to this method along with the item that should be added to it:
[Code]...
So as you can see this function just loops through the list that was passed in and if the DisplayName property of one of the items in the list is the same as the ProgramName argument that was passed in to the method as well then it returns True to indicate that this program is already in the list.I thought about using a Predicate with the List.Find method but cant see how I would get it to work because that predicate method will not have any way of referencing the list (its a method local list, not class level)

I am waiting for an email to arrive (the page automatically refreshes) and then I want to click the link (I do not need to click to open the email or anything like that) I also have the code to click and navigate to the address reason being it was the only way I could figure out how to stop it opening in a new window on IE
So my only problem is I need a way to check every x seconds for the element and then if its there proceed with my code and if its not wait and then check again or however this is done in VB.If this is not the way its done please point me in the right direction the code I am using to find and then navigate to the link is

I am working with LINQ to XML in VB (although answers in C# are great, too). First off- my code works, so this is not critical. However, I can't help but think that what I'm doing with conditional logic should already be doable using the LINQ query itself. Here's what I've got:
'Get the Description elements in the ResultData section where the value is "Op Code"
Dim opCodes As List(Of XElement) = (From c In xdoc.Descendants("ResultData").Descendants("Description")
Where c.Value = "Op Code"[code].....
Please don't be too critical of my method of locating the sibling nodes- the XML files are produced by a third-party testing device and this is the only generic way to get the values I need. What I'm really looking for here is a better way to handle the If block.
