Ok so I am making a webbrowser that will automatically log me in as I browse. But I am having a problem. I can use: el.SetAttribute("checked", "checked")
To check a check box but I cannot use it to uncheck the check box. =[ Any one know the code to uncheck a check box on a webpage vb.net webbrowser? i have tried all sorts of stuff like:
el.SetAttribute("unchecked", "unchecked")
el.SetAttribute("0", "0")
el.SetAttribute("", "")
el.SetAttribute(0, 0)
but none of them worked.

try

el.removeAttribute("checked");

[tyscof]

no that is not a function.

I know with vb.net you set the checkbox as

checkbox.checked = true

'to uncheck
checkbox.checked = false

hope that helps

[tyscof]

checkbox.checked = true

'to uncheck
checkbox.checked = false

thats not for an html element

If there is SetAttribute, I am surprised there is nothing to remove attribute. Have you tried RemoveAttribute?

Well telling us there is an error doesn't help, describe it maybe?

No I mean the function doesn't exists. The error just says that its not part of telesence.

Oh okay, sorry.

I think you will get a better response if you post some of the code around it. It will give context on what el is as well. Is SetAttribute something you wrote? what is el?

[CharlieMay]

Not sure but SetAttribute's parameters are AttributeName and Value and since you used
el.SetAttribute("checked", "checked") and that worked, did you try
el.SetAttribute("checked", "unchecked")

Since you're talking about the same attributename.

Of course, I have no idea if unchecked is a valid value it's just a guess.

Maybe some code that sets up your document for the browser would help.

Well, assuming you know for sure that the checkbox is checked, you can use:

el.InvokeMember("click")

[tyscof]

yes i tried the checked unchecked.
No i would not know if the box is checked or not. So i need a way to uncheck it just like set attribute checked checked with check it even if it is already checked.

So go ahead and post some code around the problem area. Without it we are all assuming a lot of things.
