how to get the text that goes with an IHTMLAnchorElement

[Jeff]

IHTMLAnchorElement gives access to almost everything about an HTML anchor --
except for the text string that gets displayed on the web page.

Is there an interface that gives access to the text?

Thanks,
Jeff

IHTMLAnchorElement.innerhtml

Thanks for the info.

MSDN doesn't show innerHTML as a member of IHTMLAnchorElement, and the SDK
C++ compiler agrees. I searched MSDN and found innerHTML (along with
innerText) in IHTMLElement.

To find the anchor I need, I have to match on the text string. So, I will
start by finding the IHTMLElement. But then I need the href value from
IHTMLAnchorElement.

When I've got an IHTMLElement, how do I get to the corresponding
IHTMLAnchorElement? Or is there a way to get the href value from
IHTMLElement?

sorry, dunno, my asp is limited to a very few pointers

After reviewing what little I know about IE extensibility, I realized this
isn't a problem. I can just query the same IDispatch pointer for all of the
various IHTML...Element objects.
