Re: Getting Webpage Information
Hi Tom, I found htmltext gave me html not just text. I tried the following, and it yielded a lot of formatting junk, plus some useable text. set the HTMLText of field “MyTestTextField" to the HTMLtext of widget “MyWebBrowser" Bob is correct about javascript variable contents not coming across. I have found that aspect to be a source of much frustration. If we could just have a command that would copy and paste from the widget like a human we would be able to capture those javascript variable values. Thanks for the suggestions.

Re: Getting Webpage Information
It seems to me that in order for the browser widget to DISPLAY all the text, even in Javascript objects, it must KNOW what the text is. If it KNOWS, maybe there is a way to update the widget to make that information available in a property?

Re: Getting Webpage Information
I get the web page text, but not any of the values in the fields, nor even any of the body text. I think that is because the page I am looking at is Java based. I'd LOVE to figure out a way to get THAT text as it would make my job of backing up copier data during installs MUCH quicker.

Re: Getting Webpage Information
Rick, try the htmltext property instead of text. I just tested it, it works and text does not.

Re: Getting Webpage Information
Hi Keith, Yes, I have tried that several times and ways. It doesn’t seem to work. One would think that would work fine. Other ideas?
