Question

Okay so this is my html line with the ID:

<id="accounttype" class=inline-block"><strong><?=$_SESSION['accounttype']?></strong><br>

this is what it grabs
of course though that turns into text

<?=$_SESSION['accounttype']?>

this is my vb.net code

  TextBox4.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("accounttype").InnerText

When i run the program i get this error

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Answer 1

I don’t see an element with an ID of accounttype. All I see is an element with an ID of newssite. GetElementById returns the element who has an attribute id equal to whatever you pass it. For example:

<div id="accounttype">Hello World</div>

And the VB.NET Code:

TextBox4.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("accounttype").InnerText

You may not have included the code; but you should also make sure the WebBrowser has completely loaded its contents before trying to work with it.
