Hi there

I'm new here so please be patient if the question has been asked before.

My problem is that i receive a html-page from an external page(using WinHttpRequest 5.1 (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...06(VS.85).aspx for more information)) and then I need to proces the received html, a bit like http://bytes.com/forum/thread55229.html except that i don't have it like a file. I've searched the internet for how-to about the HTMLFile object but could not find anything.

Can someone help me by telling me what the HTMLFile object can do? does it have methods like the javascript getElementById and so on.

Also I know my host supports microsoft HTML Object Library but can't find anything about this either so maybe this is another solution?

by the way, I won't post the html-page here since it is very long and very ugly, I can post my javascript version of what information I want from the html-page if you want it.

Thanks
KalleMOD

so is the received file in a long string?

Yes it is, I receive it with WinHttpRequest's responseText method which returns the html as a long string

hmm. I can't find any info on it. What language are you using? Is this an ASP.NET object or a "classic" ASP object (server.createobject)?

No it is classic asp and the link i provided looks like classic asp too so i guess there should be an object called HTMLFile in classic asp :)

maybe we could find the guy from http://bytes.com/forum/thread55229.html and ask him for help :)

The fso.readall method returns a long string with the entire text of the file. I still can't find any info on the HTMLFile object, but in that example (thread55229) he uses the doc.write command along with the readall method to put the entire HTMLFile in the doc object. I would suggest something like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. doc.write myLongString

Let me know if this works.

If all else fails you could use the FSO to save the file as a temp file and then use that exact method to handle it, but this doesn't seem like a very elegant solution.

well I've tried to use the HTMLFile.write method with my response-html but it didn't print anything when I tried response.write HTMLFile afterwards and the biggest problem is that I have no clue what methods that HTMLFile have :(
