Uses

HTML DOM

Use a dynamic object to reference the HTML DOM, which can contain any combination of valid HTML and attributes.
Because each HTML document is unique, the members for a particular HTML document are determined at run time.

Example: To reference the id attribute of HTML element <div id="Div1">:

• Obtain a reference to the <div> element, then:

dynamic divElem = divElement.GetProperty("id");
divElem.id // returns "Div1"
