private void AppendText(String text)
{
    if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
    {
        HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document;
        HtmlElement textElem = doc.CreateElement("DIV");
        textElem.InnerText = text;
        doc.Body.AppendChild(textElem);
    }
}

Private Sub AppendText(ByVal Text As String)
    If (WebBrowser1.Document IsNot Nothing) Then
        With WebBrowser1.Document
            Dim TextElem As HtmlElement = .CreateElement("DIV")
            TextElem.InnerText = Text
            .Body.AppendChild(TextElem)
        End With
    End If
End Sub

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.
