Need help pulling data from a webpage into my vb app.

[jad73]

Here's the scenario. I need to pull data from a selection box in a web page to my vb app. I am using the webbrowser component to pull up the web page. Normally i would use something like this to pull the info.

text1.text = webbrowser1.document.frame(frame name).forms(o).selectionbox.value

where selectionbox is the name of the object.

The problem is I cant get into the correct frame to find the selectionbox object. I tried all frames i could find. It seems like there may be frames within the frames or something. I wrote to the developers of that page and they told me the frame scripting reference was "top.log", so then i tried entering that into the frame name. When i did that I got an exception error. I'm still kind of new to this. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this, either code to reference that frame, or a complete workaround. Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry, can't help you with your specific problem, but I'm doing some work with the WebBrowser control and I'm pretty short on documentation and help for it. Is there anything you can email me, or somewhere I can download it from? If you search MSDN for WebBrowser it comes up empty!

That's the url to the web MSDN for the web browser object.
