I am porting a firefox extension and simply trying to append a button to an node on a web page. However nothing occurs on the page. I believe it has to do something with the conversion between HTMLDOMNode and the HTMLElement. I don't even get any errors inside console using IE dev add on.
My code:
public void OnDocumentComplete(object pDisp, ref object URL)
{
HTMLDocument document = (HTMLDocument)webBrowser.Document;
var fblike = document.getElementById("LikePluginPagelet");
var button = document.createElement("input");
button.setAttribute("value", "myButton");
button.setAttribute("onClick", "doSomething()");
((IHTMLDOMNode)fblike).appendChild((IHTMLDOMNode)button);
}
You need to make fblike dynamic.
public void OnDocumentComplete(object pDisp, ref object URL)
{
HTMLDocument document = (HTMLDocument)webBrowser.Document;
var fblike = document.getElementById("LikePluginPagelet");
var button = document.createElement("input");
button.setAttribute("value", "myButton");
button.setAttribute("onClick", "doSomething()");
dynamic fbLike = fblike
fbLike.appendChild((IHTMLDOMNode)button);
}
