You don't need the webbrowser's document text.

You can use a RichTextBox or any other text control to edit the HTML file, you can use code to have the path and name set so you can save the file without any dialogs, then navigate your webbrowser to the file.

I've just written a small application for you, it saves a file named index.html to the desktop, no dialogs in the way, as soon as you make a change it displays it in the webbrowser.

Code: Select all

Public Class Form1

    'Our declarations, this is going to be the path and file name for our HTML file'
    Dim _path As String
    Dim _name As String

    Private Sub RichTextBox1_TextChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.TextChanged
'try catch in case of any errors'      
Try
'we save the file with the path and name we declared and save it as plain text, then navigate to the file with the webbrowser'
            RichTextBox1.SaveFile(_path & _name, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText)
            WebBrowser1.Navigate(_path & _name)
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try
       
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'set the path and name on our load event'
        _path = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop
        _name = "/index.html"
    End Sub


End Class

If you want to alter the page without having to reload the whole document, you will need to make use of the existing HTML elements.
You can access these with GetElementById and GetElementsByTagName.

If i knew how to do that i would have done it wouldnt i?

If you are looking to list the elements and alter their attributes/inner HTML then you can use this:

Code: Select all

    Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted

        listElements.Items.Clear()
        For i As Integer = 0 To WebBrowser1.Document.All.Count - 1
            listElements.Items.Add(WebBrowser1.Document.All(i).TagName)
        Next

    End Sub

    Private Sub btnSetAttribute_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSetAttribute.Click

        If Not WebBrowser1.Document Is Nothing Then

            WebBrowser1.Document.All(listElements.SelectedIndex).SetAttribute(txtAttribute.Text, txtValue.Text)
        End If
    End Sub

    Private Sub btnSetHTML_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSetHTML.Click

        If Not WebBrowser1.Document Is Nothing Then

            WebBrowser1.Document.All(listElements.SelectedIndex).InnerHtml = txtValue.Text
            WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(Nothing, Nothing)
        End If

    End Sub

Where listElements is a ListBox.
