<div>
I don't think that will be possible, since AJAX writes the report using Javascript to the document.<br />
<br />
It would be the same thing as <br />
&lt;script&gt;<br />
document.write('hello world!');<br />
&lt;/script&gt;<br />
<br />
If you tried to access that via the WebBrowser.Document, all you would see is the script, not the resulting output.
</div>


<div>
Mmm. &nbsp;You're right, in that all I ca se via te WebBrowser.Document is the SOURCE HTML, rather than the RENDERED HTML.<br />
<br />
As thie rendered code is clearly within the browser control, there must be some way of getting access to it?

Hi,<br />
I am developing an application which uses the .net WebBrowser control to automate the generation of reports from various websites, and then scrapes the report output from the HTML.<br />
<br />
However, I have a problem with 1 website that generate the report using AJAX, and then shows the report output at the bottom of the page, without generating a new page.<br />
<br />
I programmatically invoke the clicking of the button that initiates the AJAX call to generate the report, but the AJAX-generated HTML doesn't seem to be accessible from the WebBrowser.Document, stopping me from being able to scrape the report output.<br />
<br />
Can anyone help?

Screen Scraping - Accessing Ajax generated  HTML

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
