IE fields for parsing -- for David SmithThis is a discussion on IE fields for parsing -- for David Smith within the xharbour forums in Programming Languages category; David: A week or so ago you provided me a way to pick up the bare stripped text from a page I viewed in Internet Explorer: cText := oIE:document:body:innertext The text I get is missing the 'blanks' from between the text fields so that all the values that I'm looking for are squeezed together and not easily parsed. Is there some way that I can see what other properties/methods are available for 'documents' so that I came get more easily parsed data ?? TIA, -Mel Smith -- Mel Smith... | ||||||||

I searched Google with innertext method OR property site:microsoft.com ... and I found a link that led me here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...55(VS.85).aspx Looks like innerHTML rather than innerText will give you better arranged input. Maybe? David A. Smith |

| Re: IE fields for parsing -- for David Smith David: I tried 'some' of the others (htmltext,innerhtml), and failed because of an apparent 'missing argument' error. But, I'm not sure. Will puzzle on these. Thanks, -Mel |
