[VB6] Submitting text into a masked HTML field?

[MyndFyre]

Oh... Why not just emulate HTTP connections entirely instead of using the web browser control? I find it a lot easier and more reliable.

Care to explain a little bit more?

Some forums (SMF, for example) don't send the password directly. They use some kind of Javascript sorcery to send it. I'm guessing it's hashed or encrypted or something first.

Yeah, that's correct, iago. I found that out shortly after originally making this thread. Anyway, it is in fact encrypted, which is why I said I need to figure out how to make a secure connection. It uses SSL.

SMF doesn't necessarily use SSL.  I use SMF on a couple servers on which I don't have server certificates.  It encrypts the password using JavaScript.

Myndfyre's right, this has nothing to do with SSL and everything to do with Javascript.

Just use .NET and the webbrowsercontrol, you could do it in less than 10 lines of code.

Hmph..

Wouldn't I still be stuck at this part though? =P.

Well no, Not that I'd think, you just get the element id and set it's innerText

*EDIT: I just read back to your original post, and I'm pretty sure this would solve your problem considering I made an auto-login bot for a website without a problem.
