VB.net htmlDocument automate element within a FRAME

[asibin2000]

I'm having problems with a VB.NET application.

We have multiple web applications and we are using a VB.NET program to do a sort of Single Sign On. So this works great, the system automatically finds the element <input name = "user" etc..> and <input name = "password" etc.> and we use the click() command on an image to login.

One of the web applications uses complex javascript / ajax - and loads tables into frames.

So I can see the frames:

<frame name = "main" etc.> and <frame name ="info" etc.>

The element we are trying to access is in a table within frame MAIN. So I'm trying to figure out a way to cascade my way into FRAME Main and then be able to send information to an "input" element within that table of the frame.

I know this can be done but I'm having problems getting it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here is just a sample code:

So if you go to a site like www.ogame.org (just an example that someone else posted), you have the username / password input elements encapsulated within frame(0).

Dim HTMLDoc As mshtml.HTMLDocument
 
 
 
        HTMLDoc = WebBrowser1.Document
 
        'select the inner frame
 
        Dim f1 As mshtml.IHTMLWindow2 = CType(HTMLDoc.frames.item(0), mshtml.IHTMLWindow2)
 
        'verify with msgbox display inner frame only
 
        MessageBox.Show(f1.document.body.innerHTML)
 
        'convert inner frame HTML to HTMLdocument (error here)
 
        Dim obj2 As mshtml.HTMLDocument = CType(f1.document.body.innerHTML, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
 
        'scan through inner frame elements search for input elements
 
        Dim wbrAll As mshtml.IHTMLElementCollection = obj2.getElementsByTagName("input")
 
        ' Create an object that will be a single instance of an input element
 
        Dim wbrElm As mshtml.IHTMLElement
 
 
 
        ' Create a few variable to hold values from the input element
 
        Dim strName As String
 
        Dim strId As String
 
        Dim strvalue As String
 
        Dim strType As String
 
 
 
        For Each wbrElm In wbrAll
 
 
 
            ' Assign the inner html values of the input to our variables
 
            strName = wbrElm.getAttribute("name")
 
            strId = wbrElm.id
 
            strvalue = wbrElm.innerText
 
            strType = wbrElm.getAttribute("type")
 
 
 
            MsgBox("name: " & strName & " Id: " & strId & " Value: " & strvalue & " Type: " & strType)
 
        Next
