  • Of course, that is meant to be your webBrowser1.Document. Also, the number is inside a SPAN, not a DIV (my bad), so the actual code would be: HtmlElement element = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("SPAN").OfType<HtmlElement>().FirstOrDefault(elm => elm.GetAttribute("className").Equals("ipsDataItem_stats_number"));. The number is then in string Number = element.InnerHtml;. Remember to set webBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;, that's a dynamic page.
