Search on an Internet Explorer App Object

Question

I have a InternetExplorer.Application

I am creating an automation and one of the pages I opened, opened a dialog that looks like a new tab, but on the same process (I checked it by the task manager >> process tab that the same process just consumes more RAM) and I don't find the document if that dialog application.

Even in the shell.application In the windows it isn't there.

I want help to find it

I thought to do some recursion on the $ie members to find a word that appears there and if it find a path post that path.

Thank you in advance

It sounds like the dialog box is a form within the same IE instance. It would be a document element.

$ie.document.documentelement.all | foreach {$DE = $_ ; $DE | where {$_.innerhtml -match "My search arguement"}| foreach{$DE|select uniqueID}}

Once you identify the uniqueID then you can use $ie.Document.getElementById('ms__id14')
