            Dim TextElem As HtmlElement = .CreateElement("DIV")

Remarks

An HTML document is split into two major sections:

• HEAD, which contains the document's title, any document meta-data, and SCRIPT elements.

• BODY, which contains all of the elements involved in the on-screen appearance of the document.

There is no equivalent Head property on HtmlDocument. To obtain the HEAD element, use GetElementsByTagName.
