How to get HTML textbox value?

问题:

I am trying to get values of few textboxes on a website in a C# WinForms app. It is input type text, set to readonly, but when I try to read it in my app using

string price = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("price").GetAttribute("value");

it returns an empty string. When I try to set some other (not readonly) input value using .SetAttribute("value", "testValue"), it works just fine.

Anyone could help me with this please?

Unfortunately the value from the text box cannot be retrieved using GetAttribute.

You can use the following code to retrieve the value:

dynamic elePrice = webBrowser.Document.GetElementById("price").DomElement;
string sValue = elePrice.value;

If you are not able to use dynamic (i.e. .NET 4+) then you must reference the 'Microsoft HTML Object Library' from the COM tab in Visual Studio and use the following:

mshtml.IHTMLInputElement elePrice = (mshtml.IHTMLInputElement)webBrowser.Document.GetElementById("price").DomElement;
string sValue = elePrice.value;

EDIT: This has been tested with the following code:

webBrowser.Url = new Uri("http://files.jga.so/stackoverflow/input.html");

webBrowser.DocumentCompleted += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
     var eleNormal = (IHTMLInputElement)webBrowser.Document.GetElementById("normal").DomElement;
     var eleReadOnly = (IHTMLInputElement)webBrowser.Document.GetElementById("readonly").DomElement;
     var eleDisabled = (IHTMLInputElement)webBrowser.Document.GetElementById("disabled").DomElement;

     MessageBox.Show(eleNormal.value);
     MessageBox.Show(eleReadOnly.value);
     MessageBox.Show(eleDisabled.value);
};

try to use innertext

string price = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("price").InnerText;
