was not you sir. was the ones that placed it on hold as unclear. — Shawn, Jul 22 '13 at 15:32
Can we do something about the nagative points on this. I mean evry one that answerd knew what i was asking. — Shawn, Jul 22 '13 at 16:52
ya it is not you sir it is the ones that put it on hold, for what ever reason. You have been a big help up to this point and I than kyou for that. — Shawn, Jul 22 '13 at 16:59
the hold is because you don't say what the problem is. you just say you are getting an error. was it a compile error? was it a runtime error, etc. you seem to have put some of that info into comments in several answers, but that doesn't help those of us just looking at the question itself. — John Gardner, Jul 22 '13 at 17:40

I guess one thing that it missing is .InnerText where you want to assign textBox content to textBox1.

if (textBox1 != null)
{
     textBox1.InnerText = textBox.InnerText;
}

In your example it looks like you've got your goal flipped around. Shouldn't it look like this instead:

if(textBox != null)
{
    textBox.innerText = textBox1.Text;
}

The issue is with your assignment. If you want to take input from textBox1 and assign it to html Textbox which is textBox, do it like as:

HtmlElement textBox = webBrowser1.Document.All["textbox1"];
if (textBox1 != null)
   {
      textBox.InnerText = textBox1.text;
   }

so i have your answer in my C# program, but I am getting the red lines all over. It is giving me an error for webBrowser1, InnerText, and text after textBox1. I am not sure why. can you help – Shawn Jul 22 '13 at 15:40
May be you haven't set fields or added references properly as it's giving errors for variables. – Shumail Jul 22 '13 at 15:45
would that be something that I have to set at the top of the whole program in the using section. and if so what would it be set as. – Shawn Jul 22 '13 at 15:59
are you using VS 2012 ? – Shumail Jul 22 '13 at 16:51
I am sir. I am just not sure what I am doing wrong – Shawn Jul 22 '13 at 16:59
I posted every thing I have in the queston at the top sir. Please take a look and let me know what I am doing wrong. – Shawn Jul 22 '13 at 17:33
Apologies but there's no namespace , no Form, no class, no ``Form_load`` ? – Shumail Jul 22 '13 at 17:37
sorry about that was trying to take out the fluff. – Shawn Jul 22 '13 at 17:40
You need to study webbrowser control of c# - See this little guide. it will help you. Visit http://www.dotnetperls.com/webbrowser - I assume you didn't put `webbrowser`` object in form. See this answer as well.http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5716662/how-to-use-the-net-webbrowser-object – Shumail Jul 22 '13 at 17:41
