C# get element by name

So I've figured out how to get an element by id, but I don't know how I can get an element by name.

private void SendData()
{
    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("textfield1")
        .SetAttribute("value", textBox1.Text);
    webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("textfield2")
        .SetAttribute("value", textBox1.Text);
}

The problem is in HTML textfield1 is an id but textfield2 is a name. So I want to figure out how to get textfield2:

<html>
    <input type="text" id="textfield1" value="TEXT1"><br>
    <input type="text" name="textfield2" value="TEXT2"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</html>
Solution

  • You can get an HtmlElementCollection - for example, using GetElementsByTagName method. Then, HtmlElementCollection has GetElementsByName method:

    webBrowser1.Document
    .GetElementsByTagName("input")
    .GetElementsByName("textfield2")[0]
        .SetAttribute("value", textBox1.Text);
