Hello everyone,
I am trying to get the "K/D" value from this page: (which is 0.65 now)
http://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/dannezoo/

How will I be able to do that using a webbrowser?
I know how to do it with elements with an ID.
I managed to enable javascript now I just need to get those variables.

Help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I wanted to know how it could be done in VB.NET, without anything to be downloaded.
Thanks.

You asked how this could be done using a webbrowser, hence the suggestion to use GreaseMonkey.

If you want to extract variables from a website using VB.NET use the WebClient class (System.Net.WebClient) or use HTML DOM. There are really a ton of options out there :)

Thanks but I really don't want anything out of VB.NET code like GreaseMonkey.
Could you please give an example code doing this. I couldn't find any help only. I did research.

This little bit of code extracts the kills from the page and dumps the result in the console (logging).

var kills = document.getElementsByClassName('score')[0].innerHTML;
console.log('Kills', kills);

0 -> Kills
1 -> Deaths
2 -> K/D
