OT: IE and HTML header source

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Sorry, a bit OT.

I can get the HTML from a web page between the <BODY>...</BODY> tags using
oie.Document.Body.InnerHTML in VFP (where oie is an internet explorer
application object)..

So how do I get the <HEADER>...</HEADER> source, or even better the whole
HTML source?
? oie.Document.Header.InnerHTML sounds like a good guess, but no luck there,
and I can't find anything else which looks promising.

Thanks

See if this is an option for you. There is an improved version of the
ReadURL() function on the web written by one of the MVP's but I can't find
the url in my archives.

perhaps the http class can do a better job:

* Connect to the web
webSite=3D"http://www.yahoo.com"
oHttp =3D CREATEOBJECT("Microsoft.XmlHttp")
oHttp.Open("GET",webSite,.F.)
oHttp.Send()
response =3D oHttp.ResponseText
* Do stuff with response

well, this one does what you asked for, i guess

oIE =3D CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
oIE.Navigate("http://www.google.com")
oDoc =3D oIE.Document
html =3D oDoc.documentElement.outerHTML

I don't know how easy it is for you to use libcurl but that sure can do it,
I know you work with *X things and so you might like it.
I've been using curl (executable) but libcurl is a bit more api-like for all
you that prefer it that way.
http://curl.haxx.se/

Maybe it is easier to use things already in fox, don't know.

Thanks Andrew,

I'm trying to generate static html versions of Perl/CGI generated pages on
our website for search engine submissions. It's probably a better idea to
generate these pages directly from the Linux web server, so I'll look into
this one.

correct me if i'm wrong
the 'outer' of the body element will give you the same as the 'inner' =
with body tags as you said, but...
the 'outer' of the documentElement of the main document will give you =
the whole html
maybe you overlooked the oDoc.DOCUMENTELEMENT.outerHTML part
;-)
