Website works in Chrome but not WebBrowser component
Hi,
I am trying to use a particular website, using a WebBrowser component in a VB.Net app.
I do not have any control over the website that I am trying to access, but it works fine through Google Chrome.
Looking at the source of the website in question, it has the following form defined:
<form name="frmSearch" id="frmSearch" method="post" onSubmit="return false;" action="MeetingList.php">
Within this form, is the following button:
<a id="SPFundGoButtonLink" href="javascript:DoSearch(
If I visit this site in Google Chrome and click the above defined button, it works fine, however if I navigate to the same site in a WebBrowser component and click the same button it generates the following error:
'gnSearchFund' is undefined.
Any idea why this works in Chrome but not the WebBroswer component, and more importantly, can anyone think of a workaround for this?

The WebBrowser control is a managed wrapper around a component installed with Internet Explorer how you car read in this link:

When you try open with IE the page you have the same error?

I've followed the instructions for CEF, installed the NuGet package and set the target CPU to X64.
I then try to add a ChromiumWebBrowser component onto Form1, and I get the following error:
Failed to load toolbox item 'ChromiumWebBrowser'. It will be removed from the toolbox.
What am I doing wrong?

Use the sample projects from the link. I struggled a bit with the x64 error until I used the sample project and reverse-engineered it. I spend hours looking at possible fixes and browser components, most cost an arm and a leg. CefSharp is the only free solution I found that didn't give me this error
