Why Won't HtmlElement.SetAttribute Work
Dec 29, 2011
I'm trying to post to my blog programatically using VB .NET. So far, I've been using this to set the title:
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("entry_title").InnerText = "title"
It works fine. However, when I try to set the body text:
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("entryBody").SetAttribute("value", "body")
It won't work. It worked for me before, but now I can't get it to work again. I used the .OuterHtml command to view the line of code, and it assigned the value perfectly. However, it still won't display in the webbrowser. This is the code from the webpage I'm working with:
<textarea style="width: 95%; height: 350px;" name="entry[body]" id="entryBody">text inserted here

how to SetAttribute (a Value) for a textbox in a webpage document that don't have an ID .I already knows that to SetAttribute to a textbox you just need the ID of the element.
I.E : WebBrowser1.document.GetElementByID(THE ELEMENT ID).SetAttribute("Value",TextBox1.text)
So as you see in the example, to set attribute to an Element I need an ID and in my case I don't know what is the ID of the Specific Element.
This is the ViewSource of the Textbox :
<input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder$ccEnterCode" type="text" size="5" maxlength="5" value="">
I don't see where's the ID !

I know that I can select an option in a listbox within my HTMLDocument (which refers to a webbrowser control's HTMLDocument) using SetAttribute. For example:
htDoc.GetElementById("lstCountries").SetAttribute("value", "88")
However, I can't figure out how I can select multiple items within the listbox. When I call SetAttribute repeatedly, it always unselects the old one first.

I'm using a WebBrowser control in VB.Net to load a website. At that point, the WebBrowser.Document.Images property returns a collection of HtmlElement that are considered images.
What I'm trying to do at this point, is take a particular HtmlElement that represents an image and turn it into a System.Drawing.Image so that I can manipulate it. But I can't figure out how.
I did try to search for an answer, but came up with nothing. 'WebBrowser', as it turns out, seems to be a really popular keyword.
EDIT: It's been suggested that I use the SRC attribute of the HtmlElement to download the image; but the image can be dynamic - meaning the image I download can be separate from the image on the website....so, that won't work for my purposes.

It seems that in previous versions of Visual Basic it was possible to convert a System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement to the various System.Web.UI.HtmlControls but in 2008 I cannot seem to do this.What I am trying to do is convert HtmlElements that I got from a WebBrowser.Document into HtmlTableRow HtmlAnchor etc. to manipulate them but I cannot find a way to convert them in this version. I guess my questions are :1. Is it possible to convert a System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement into one of the various ystem.Web.UI.HtmlControls ?2. If not, is there another way to cleanly manipulate tables and anchors etc. from a HtmlDocument without writing my own logic to find the tags etc

I am having some problems with Navigating to the same URL of the WebBrowser.I am trying to get an HtmlElement from the WebBrowser. This HtmlElement is a simple link ("href"). The link is shown on the site that I am navigating to, every hour for only 1 minute and than disappears.I want to check every 15 seconds if this link exists. So, I am doing a loop with a Timer and refresh the WB control.The problem that I encounter is when the WB control already navigated to the site that I wanted to check, it always navigate to the same page when refreshing. The links or the DocumentText are never changed, even if I enter Internet Explorer and see that it has been a change in the page.

I am trying to get position of html elements in a .net's webbrowser control and failing, i need the exact position of the element relative to the whole document or the webbrowser control to be able to send a mouse click using SendMessage() P/Invoke..I have tried the solution from here but it didn't work:getting absolute position of HTML element in webbrowser control with C#.I am guessing that is because the page relies on very complex ajax and css.the function "WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementFromPoint()" works just fine in getting the accurate html element, i just need the opposite of it.other wise, should i just keep on searching using "GetElementFromPoint()" until getting the correct element?

I am working on a project that involves the editing of html of pages on the fly. I have put a webbrowser on the form, and I am able to retrieve the element under my mouse by using: wBrowser.Document.GetElementFromPoint(e.ClientMousePosition) in the Document.MouseClick event.However, I want the experience to be more intuitive, by placing a semi-transparent blue rectangle over whichever HtmlElement the mouse is currently hovering over. I created a borderless form with 20% opacity for this, which works great, except that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to calculate the screen coordinates of the element under my mouse. Here is what I have so far, but while the size is adjusted correctly, the location of the rectangle is just stuck at (0, 0) relative to my form. Highly annoying:

I am trying to get the HTML inside a HTMLElement which has an id "block". I have tried:
If webbrowser1.document.getelementbyid("block") isnot nothing then
MsgBox(webbrowser1.document.getelementbyid("block").innerHTML)
end if
But it keep throwing a NullReferenceException and tells me to check if it null/nothing which is what I'm doing.
So how do I check if an element in a HTMLdocument with a certain ID exists?
