GetElementById() not working

zulu delta

I'm having trouble receiving a value from GetElementById(); using C#

I have a C++ header file with a webControl on it with an HTML file (Google maps).
What I want to do is store the reverse geocode into a tag with a text attribute and retrieve that address as a string.
I instantiated the map object and the webBrowser and document, but the element is null. When I debug it all the other values (Document, DocumentText) show up but not the HtmlElement element = document.GetElementById("addr");

When I return the DocumentText property, it shows up the HTML markup, but not all of it (is there a string type limit?)

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

I figured out the problem why it wouldn't read my HtmlElements;

I forgot the Object^ sender;

public: System::String^ GetAddress(System::Object^ sender)

I don't understand:
- C++ header file with a webControl on it with an HTML file (Google maps)
- reverse geocode
- that address
- map object
- the element
It will help if you describe the problem assuming we are not familiar with Google maps. Some of us are familiar with the DOM for HTML but not Google maps.
Obvioulsy there is not an element with that id but I don't know why not; I think there is not enough information here to determine why not.

hi buddy,

You can directly use
like this.getElementById("ID")
no need to create an object of htmlelement.
if u need to do so u can either use outerHtml or InnerHtml whichever is required.

Be frank ..
