    Newbie can't follow link in webbrowser to fillout a form

    Hi,

    I am new to C# and have a form with 2 buttons. One clicks on a link in a page which takes the webbrowser to a link that has a form. The second button fills out the form and clicks submit.
    I would like to combine these buttons and noticed a http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180366 but am not sure if this is the way to make sure the 2nd page is loaded before continuing with my method. Any suggestions? I keep getting "Send InMail form not found".

    Code:
                 if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
                {
                    if (webBrowser1.Document.All["_contactDirectlyLink"] != null)
                    {
                        HtmlElement Send_InMailLink = webBrowser1.Document.All["_contactDirectlyLink"];
                        Send_InMailLink.InvokeMember("Click");
                        //mshtml.HTMLLinkElement Send_InMailLinkButton = (mshtml.HTMLLinkElement)Send_InMailLink.DomElement;
                    }    
                    else
                    {
                        if (webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("document-create_proposal") == null)
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("Send InaMail link not found");
                        }
                    }
     
    //is page loaded? if so, continue
    
    if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
                {
                    
                    if (webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("title-create_proposal") != null)
                    {
                        if (txtMsgTitle.Text != "")
                        {
                            webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("title-create_proposal").SetAttribute("value", txtMsgTitle.Text);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            MessageBox.Show("Please enter subject.");
                            return;
                        }
    
                        if (webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("document-create_proposal") != null)
                        {
                            if (txtMessageBox.Text != "")
                            {
                                webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("document-create_proposal").SetAttribute("value", txtMessageBox.Text);
                                if (webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("proposalType-create_proposal") != null)
                                {
                                    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("proposalType-create_proposal").SetAttribute("value", "JOB_OFFER");
                                }
                                if (webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rcptTelephone-contact-create_proposal") != null)
                                {
                                    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rcptTelephone-contact-create_proposal").SetAttribute("value", "(xxx) xxx-xxxx");
                                }
    
                                if (webBrowser1.Document.All["inmail-proposal-submit"] != null)
                                {
                                    HtmlElement el1 = webBrowser1.Document.All["inmail-proposal-submit"];
                                    mshtml.HTMLInputElement el2 = (mshtml.HTMLInputElement)el1.DomElement;
                                    //el2.click();
                                    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("proposalType-create_proposal").SetAttribute("value", "JOB_OFFER");
                                    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rcptTelephone-contact-create_proposal").SetAttribute("value", "(510) 525-3200");
                                    el2.click(); //let's try with it now
                                }
    
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                MessageBox.Show("Please enter message.");
                                return;

    It's not nice to scrape others data, as it's also against the AUP to discuss. Logging into another site is probably not allowed, either.
