How To Type Into Textfield on webpage using MonoMac? (WebBrowser Control Alternative)

Question

Im used to developing on .net so decided to try MonoMac, but unfortunately the WebBrowser control in .net isn't available in Mono.

Ive added a webview, and Ive figured out how to navigate:

wbWebView.MainFrameUrl = "http://www.linkedin.com";

Now for the life of me I can't figure out how to do these kinds of things I used to be able to do in .net:

wb.Document.GetElementById("email").SetAttribute("value", "myemaillogin@btinternet.com")

or stuff like this in .net:

For Each link As HtmlElement In wb.Document.GetElementsByTagName("a")
        If link.GetAttribute("href").Contains("twitter") Then
            Dim hyperlink As String = link.GetAttribute("href")
            ListBox1.Items.Add(hyperlink)
        End If
    Next

(where wb is the webbrowser control in the above 2 examples)

Any ideas?

Ive tried looking at the xml approach, but either Im doing it wrong, but isn't really working for me. Its a shame there isn't the webbrowser control in mono!

Thanks very much for all your help.

ps. I know my .net examples are VB, but the same applies to C#

I figured it out...

- (IBAction)btnDoStuff:(NSButton *)sender {
    [[[self myWebView] mainFrame] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/"]]];

    [[self myWebView] setEditable:YES];
}

- (IBAction)btnCoolCode:(NSButton *)sender {
    NSMutableArray *myArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

    DOMDocument *myDomDocument = [[self myWebView] mainFrameDocument];

    DOMNodeList *myList = [myDomDocument getElementsByTagName:@"a"];

    int numElements = [myList length];

    for (int i=0; i<numElements; i++) {
        [myArray addObject:(DOMHTMLElement *)[myList item:i]];
    }

    self.lblOutput.stringValue = [[myArray objectAtIndex:7] innerText];
