HTMLDocument

[Joselito]

Hi,

I wanted to do something really simple in VB using HTMLDocument. What I wanted to do was to retrieve the title of a URL. What would be the easiest way to do this using HTMLDocument. Example below:

...

Set inet = New HTMLDocument

inet.open "http://www.codeguru.com"

Title.Text = inet.Title

inet.Close ...


I'm not sure about the third line, I have an edit box on my form called title, and I wanted to set the text to whatever the title of the URL was. If you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

TIA, -Lito

here is a working sample

Dim h as new HTMLDocument
w.navigate "http://yourURLGoesHere"
set h = w.document
MsgBox h.Title



w is the name of a Web Browser control

Just exactly what is "w"?

did you really read my post?
>w is the name of a Web Browser control

That's what it is: the name of a Web Browser control that I placed on the form -> Project/components/Microsoft Internet Controls

Is there some other reference that I have to set for this code to work? I keep getting the lovely User-defined type not defined on the New HTMLDocument. I already have the Internet Controls checked in both the references and components. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John
