The following code works well with standard html tags such as div or p. This deletes the first accruing tag:
Dim htmlDoc As HTMLDocument
Dim Node As IHTMLDOMNode
Set htmlDoc = New HTMLDocument
htmlDoc.body.innerHTML = strSomeData
Set Node = htmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(strSomeTagName).item(0)
Node.parentNode.removeChild Node
But when you read a HTMLDocument with Angular tag names such as article or main or any other non-standard html tag names, getElementsByTagName() fails to read the DOM correctly. The extracted .outerHTML of the extracted node only containes the opening tag and the .innerHTML is left empty. When you than delete such a node, only the opening tag is deleted from the HTMLDocument, therefore destroying the entire logic of the DOM structure.
Am I missing something here?
