How to inject Javascript in WebBrowser control?
I've tried this:
string newScript = textBox1.Text;
HtmlElement head = browserCtrl.Document.GetElementsByTagName("head")[0];
HtmlElement scriptEl = browserCtrl.Document.CreateElement("script");
lblStatus.Text = scriptEl.GetType().ToString();
scriptEl.SetAttribute("type", "text/javascript");
head.AppendChild(scriptEl);
scriptEl.InnerHtml = "function sayHello() { alert('hello') }";
scriptEl.InnerHtml and scriptEl.InnerText both give errors:
System.NotSupportedException: Property is not supported on this type of HtmlElement.

Is there an easy way to inject a script into the dom?
For some reason Richard's solution didn't work on my end (insertAdjacentText failed with an exception). This however seems to work:
HtmlElement head = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("head")[0];
HtmlElement scriptEl = webBrowser1.Document.CreateElement("script");
IHTMLScriptElement element = (IHTMLScriptElement)scriptEl.DomElement;
element.text = "function sayHello() { alert('hello') }";
head.AppendChild(scriptEl);
webBrowser1.Document.InvokeScript("sayHello");
This answer explains how to get the IHTMLScriptElement
interface into your project.
HtmlDocument doc = browser.Document;
HtmlElement head = doc.GetElementsByTagName("head")[0];
HtmlElement s = doc.CreateElement("script");
s.SetAttribute("text","function sayHello() { alert('hello'); }");
head.AppendChild(s);
browser.Document.InvokeScript("sayHello");
(tested in .NET 4 / Windows Forms App)
Edit: Fixed case issue in function set.
Here is the easiest way that I found after working on this:
string javascript = "alert('Hello');";
// or any combination of your JavaScript commands
// (including function calls, variables... etc)
// WebBrowser webBrowser1 is what you are using for your web browser
webBrowser1.Document.InvokeScript("eval", new object[] { javascript });
What global JavaScript function eval(str)
does is parses and executes whatever is written in str.
