So say that I want to find the word "Hello, world!" on a webpage. It has the ID "Text". Using a WebBrowser named WebBrowser1, is there a way return true if that text exists on a webpage, or if it doesn't exist, it will return false? The URL would be EXACTLY the same either way.
Edit: The HTML path to get to it is very long, so I'd need to find the text on the page.

View 9 RepliesI'm having a heck of a time getting this to work....on other forums there isn't a problem with passing text to the websites but this site is driving me nuts.
[Code]...
Assume that there is a web site which includes 3 different pages. I want to show a text one of the pages randomly, with is formatted with css.
For instance the pages are below:
hello-world.aspx
hi-sun.aspx
good-night-moon.aspx
* When John enters to the site, the text will appear on hi-sun.aspx,
* When Elmander enters to the site, the text will appear on hello-world.aspx
And when one enters the page which includes a special text, even if come again, it shouldn't appear.
Psedue Code:
if(Session["first"] == "1"){
//show the text in a random page }
else {
//text.visible = false
}
In the if block how can I supply the text in a random page. (it shouldn't appear in every page, should appear only one page).
