Grab text from a internet explorer (Help)
Hi,
I am trying to create a VB program that will grab text from a currently displayed web browser. I would like to specify the text of what coordinate (x,y) to be grabbed. Or i might want to search throught the content of the page for key word such as "NAME:". Anyone has idea on how to do it? Thank you. :)

HTML doesn't really have the concept of X, Y coordinates. You can, however, download the page's HTML code into a string variable, then use VB's string functions (InStr, Mid, etc.) to find the specific text you're looking for. For more information on downloading a file from a Web server in VB, see http://www.google.com/search?q=vb+internet+transfer+control+download+file
