loading HTML doc with ajax on page using XMLHTTP60

[lewisgmorris]

I am using internet explorer at the moment and its an absolute pain.

Can you use XMLHTTP60 to load the html doc if the page contains ajax which loads after the page has? Because when i use the XMLHTTP60 it isn't contained in the document.

Any one got any ideas?

You would have to send a separate XMLhttp request to request the part of the webpage loaded by ajax, the same that IE does internally. And deal with the 2 documents separately.

An alternative to IE, which internally seems to do everything that IE does when it loads a page, without the visual rendering, is CreateDocumentFromUrl:

    Dim HTMLdoc As HTMLDocument, HTMLdoc2 As IHTMLDocument4

    Set HTMLdoc2 = New HTMLDocument
    Set HTMLdoc = HTMLdoc2.createDocumentFromUrl("http://www.page.com", "")
    While HTMLdoc.readyState <> "complete": DoEvents: Wend
    'Now parse HTMLdoc

CreateDocumentFromUrl can only be used with early binding so you must set a reference to Microsoft HTML Object Library.
