The homepage is not designed by me . It is host by others and I cannot redesign it.
Do you know how to slove it ?

Hi Mike,
You cannot access another domain's DOM; you will get an 'access denied' message. The best you can do is download the site & look for the element manually.
What is it you are trying to do? Perhaps there is another way.

After I login to a homepage, it pop up a dialog : "Secure Information. This Page contains both secure and non-secure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items ?"
my current approach to solve this problem is to use AppActivate "Security Information" and then press enter using the keysboard event.
Would somebody tell me how can i know when the secure information dialog s pop up and then i do something after pop u p?

If there are 2 frames in a homepage, how can it detect if the content of 1 of the frames finish loading in Visual Basic ?
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Might you better off writing an app that just uses HTTP request/response directly?

You can detect when all frames are downloaded at documentcomplete event of ie/webbrowser control, just use this:
' for IE
If (pdisp is ie) then
end if
' for webbrowser control
if (pdisp is webbrowser1.object) then
end if
Documentcomplete event is fired for every frame but pDisp is ie or pDisp is wb1.object is TRUE ONLY when ALL frames are downloaded.
' for IE
If (pdisp is ie) then
end if
' for webbrowser control
if (pdisp is webbrowser1.object) then
end if
Documentcomplete event is fired for every frame but pDisp is ie or pDisp is wb1.object is TRUE ONLY when ALL frames are downloaded.

All my work was vain!
