Hello,
Im new to the Html world. I have a Html page that my application load which basically consists of the table formated to be a header for a report.

I would like to add additional tables with data to the page as I use my software.

Im using the following code to add data:

IHTMLDocument2* pDoc = NULL;
IHTMLElement* pBody = NULL;

BSTR htmlBStr = html.AllocSysString();

GetDHtmlDocument(&pDoc);

pDoc->get_body(&pBody);

pBody->put_innerHTML(htmlBStr);

if ( htmlBStr != NULL )
SysFreeString(htmlBStr);

pBody->Release();
pDoc->Release();

The problem is that when I add the table to my existing document is erases everything on the page. I would like it to just add the table to the document.

Thanks for any help

It's doing what you asked. You will need to find the element you want to be the parent of your table, and then set the innerHtml of just that element. is there a get_element, or similar ? You select element by it's id.

I guess im probably using this wrong I send it an entire populated table that I simple want displayed on my page. That works but it erases whats already there.

Like I said, you are setting the html of the WHOLE page to be your table. You're on the right track, but you need an element to be the parent of your table, then you need to find that and set it's innerHtml to be your table.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752576(v=vs.85).aspx sadly, it seems the only way to select an element is from it's location. You need to be able to find an element to insert your table after it. Not sure why you can't do that.

There has to be a way to auto-insert after exisitn html content. How can I get a pointer to the page without updating everything?
