It looks to me that he is trying to steal passwords off the logon page. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

It looks to me that he is trying to steal passwords off the logon page. Hehe, unfortunately this is not the case. As said before, this is for my job as a QA Engineer. We parse HTML all the time, but the methods we use aren't the most efficient and efficacious. The reason for pulling the source from the login page is to retrieve the dll versions posted on the page. Developers display the versions and I need this for my testing validation. With the code I posted in my first post of this thread, I was able to parse HTML Tables once past the login page, but it's only working in VBA/VBS (see my other thread : http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=162816&an=0&page=0#162816) So all in all, I figured out how to pull data from HTML Tables and can access the dll versions. I can live with this for now. I'm not sure if wget or KiX COM is capable of accessing secured pages or possibly hook onto an existing browser that is already past the login page? I hope that answers what I'm trying to do.

pearly pearly Getting the hang of it Registered: 2004-02-04 Posts: 92	hmm ok. I've converted the code in this thread : http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=162816&an=0&page=0#162816 to KiX. Any suggestions on how to easily identify parent/children relationships between objects, collections, and such?

pearly pearly Getting the hang of it Registered: 2004-02-04 Posts: 92	take this example for instance : $objWinShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") $obj = $objWinShell.Windows.Item(1).Document.All.Tags("TABLE").Item(6).Rows(0).Cells(0).InnerText How do I know the relationship between all these objects/collections/properties? Is there a property that lists all objects/collections/properties for that object?
