title: Getting HTML SELECT length property in C#
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to grab DOM elements from a webpage. Here is the function I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void processHTML(String htmlContent)
  {
      IHTMLDocument2 htmlDocument = (IHTMLDocument2)new mshtml.HTMLDocument();
      htmlDocument.write(htmlContent);
  
      IHTMLElementCollection allElements = htmlDocument.all;
  
      webBrowser1.DocumentText = allElements.item("storytext").innerHTML;
      textBox2.Text = allElements.item("chap_select").length.ToString();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I set a breakpoint at either of the last two lines and then check the allElements collection, I'm able to find the SELECT element. It correctly shows the ID as being chap_select and the length property shows 13 for the particular document that is being passed. For some reason the length that is being put into the textBox2 field is 2, however.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong here? I've spent several hours trying to figure this out, but have not been able to find any code samples of somebody trying to grab this property of a SELECT.</p>
