help parsing an HTML page via XMLHTTPREQUEST Object.

Visual Studio332
Hello,



All code is at the bottom of message. I need to programmatically call an

html form, check some boxes and then submit the form, and finally parse the

returned page again. I am thinking I need to use XMLHTTPREQUEST then load

the resulting HTML as a DOM document then step thru the controls and do my

thing. Problem is I am getting an error when I load the form: "XML document

must have top level element". I do not have access to the original form

since its a private website. When I do "Debug.Print XMLHTTP.ResponseText" I

do see all the HTML is correctly there. Is there another of doing what I

need to do? I guess the DOM is complaining that the HTML may not be

compliant!?



Thanks in Advanced!!!





Dim XMLHTTP As New MSXML2.XMLHTTP40

Dim xmldoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument40

xmldoc.async = False

xmldoc.resolveExternals = False

XMLHTTP.Open "GET", "my.url.com/forms/NC.htm", False

XMLHTTP.send

Debug.Print XMLHTTP.responseText

xmldoc.loadXML (XMLHTTP.responseXML.xml)

If (xmldoc.parseError.errorCode <>0) Then

Dim Myerr

Set Myerr = xmldoc.parseError

MsgBox ("You Have Error" & Myerr.reason)

Else

Set ObjNodeList = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("Message")

MsgBox (ObjNodeList.Item(0).Text)

End If



End Sub
