Screen Scraper site that requires HIDDEN variables

[konLao]

Hi all VB.NET experts,

Is this possible? I try to extract information from a webpage. But it requires HIDDEN variable to be set first.

For example

Page 1: (page where I put in the search type)

...
<INPUT NAME="DBNAME" VALUE="MYTEST" TYPE="HIDDEN">
<INPUT NAME="ACTION" VALUE="SEARCH" TYPE="HIDDEN">
...

Page 2 is simply the result of the search.

Thank you,

KonLao

What you got there is HTML, right? Seeing that this is the VB.NET forum, you may want to move this thread to

http://tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?spid=215,

for example.

Dimandja,

Thank you for responding. The link or forum you gave me doesn't work (

http://tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?spid=215)

Answer to your question., YES I would get HTML.

Any technical assistant would be appreciated

Thank you,

KonLao

Humm... I just tried it and I got to the HTML forum.

Try this: go to the top of this page and enter "HTML" (without the quotes), and make sure the search criteria says 'Find a Forum'. You will find 3 forums.

I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. I'm using VB.NET and Webclient.

I was able to scraper information from screen. I only need to know how do I create hidden variables and call it from VB.NET App.

Thank you,
