Hi Vernon Marsden,
>>I am trying to show the current link to see if it has been changed
HtmlElement represents any possible type of element in an HTML document, such as BODY, TABLE, and FORM, among others.
The class exposes the most common properties you can expect to find on all elements.
So you can access to attributes, properties to judge if it has been changed instead of outputting html directly.
Such as, you can use HtmlElement.GetAttribute(String) method to retrieve the value of the named attribute on the element.
You can also use HtmlElement.InnerText property to get the text assigned to the element.
