Hello

I would like to ask if it is possible to read a HTML document using the XML libraries in Visual Basic.

Thanks
 
No.




Heh. ok. i'll tell u why.

XML != HTML although XML ~= XHTML. if you're document is an XHTML document then u may stand a chance.

XML != HTML because these sorts of things in HTML:

<form name=womblemeister> </form>

<br>

<input type=button>
.. etc

is perfectly valid where as in XML it definately isn't.


Granted if you made your html xml complient you may be able to but it wont work for web pages u havent created yourself.

Such is the world of the web im afraid.
