Problem with Document from WebBrowser control

Mark

I am at my wits' end.

I have the following code:

WebBrowser1.Nav igate ("c:\path\page. htm")
Text1.Text = WebBrowser1.Doc ument.Links.len gth

Where the page.htm has the following HTML:

<html>
<head><title> </title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<a href="somepage. htm">Link</a><br>
<a href="anotherpa ge.htm">Second Link</a><br>
<a href="andonemor e.htm">Third Link</a><br>
Test
</body>
</html>

Page loads into browser control fine, but the value that appears in
the TextBox control is "0". This is the same value I get when I query
any of the collections in the Document object. I cannot figure out
what magic I need to perform to be able to analyze the document object
that is current loaded in the WebBrowser control. Any help you guys
could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Further info:

VB6
WinXP

TIA

AFAIK, WebBrowser.Navi gate works asynchronously, i.e. page may still
be loading/parsing when you query HTML DOM for links.length.

Try to delay queries until page is completely loaded. Check out
ReadyState property and NavigateComplet e event.

Maybe there is a way to turn off asynchronous loading
(like in DOMDocument.asy nc = False), but not to my knowledge.

UCOMIStream, MSHTML and WebBrowser control Persistence Problem

Sorry for the cross post, but I'm not sure who is best placed to answer this one. This is the most bizarre behaviour of MSHTML and streams.

Can I get HTML generated by document.write()?

by: mrbog | last post by:

Using the WebBrowser control, can someone load one of my web pages and see the HTML that has been generated by document.write() javascript? For example, if I have a page that has obfuscated javascript that does a document.write(), I'm not concerned if someone can view that javascript (because it won't be easy to un obfuscate the javascript). But, using the webbrowser control could someone see the HTML that the document.write generated?

Hi! I posted this question in browser_ctl group as well but got no results. I have a form with embedded WebBrowser.

I noticed that the webbrowser in the newly opened form is shifted to the right and bottom leaving gray areas...

Modify a document before shown in WebBrowser

by: ljlevend2 | last post by:

Is there any way to modify a document before it is displayed by a System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control? The Navigating event occurs before the document is loaded, but it does not expose the document object. On the other hand, the DocumentCompleted event exposes the document object, but it occurs after the WebBrowser has loaded the document. What I want is something like a DocumentCompleting event (which does not exist) that would...
