I have tried under ie7 thru 10 under both XP and W7. Whenever I try to get the innertext of an HTML element in the webbrowser control all I get is a string of question marks whenever the characters are not in English (in the test case, Cyrillic). The control recognizes the character set correctly (webbrowser1.document.charset = windows-1251, which is Cyrillic) and they are properly displayed on a webpage in the control. The content is mixed and ...defaultCharset = windows-1252 -- common Latin. (The page head includes <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251" />)
I am trying to be able to search such webpages (specifically within certain HTML elements) for certain words in non-English character sets.
I have a fair amount of experience with the webbrowser control (I have used it to automate some web browsing tasks for myself) but I am by no means a VB6 geek, so extra detail would probably be helpful.
PLEASE, I am begging, don't tell me to convert to .Net, use such-and-such simple (to you) control, etc. PLEASE try to contain yourself to my circumstances (VB6 and ieframe/shdocvwctl)
I have spent very literally hours googling and playing, so please don't just tell me to "search for...". Please point me to a specific page if that is your solution.
Thanx
