I'm unsure as to what it is you exactly want, however i'm going to make a stab at it and say it's this your looking for. If not you can try this.
<div class="content">
<div id="inner">
Anything within this id will also relate to the div class.
</div>
</div>

Heres a neat way to extract Data from HTML using XPath.
Using this HTML as an example
Running this code will pull all the text in the Inner DIVs and display in the console
xmlNav.Select("/html/body/div[@id=""outer""]")
This is the important line, changing this will allow you to quicklly search through any HTML document, or XML, for the information you require.
Using this HTML as an example
<html>
<body>
<div id="outer">
<div>Inner</div>
<div>Inner2</div>
<div>Inner3</div>
<div>Inner4</div>
</div>
<div id="blah">
<div>blah1</div>
<div>blah2</div>
<div>blah3</div>
<div>blah4</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Running this code will pull all the text in the Inner DIVs and display in the console
Dim xpathDoc As XPathDocument
Dim xmlNav As XPathNavigator
Dim xmlNI As XPathNodeIterator
Dim DivDetail() As String
xpathDoc = New XPathDocument("c:\test.html")
xmlNav = xpathDoc.CreateNavigator()
xmlNI = xmlNav.Select("/html/body/div[@id=""outer""]")
xmlNI.MoveNext()
DivDetail = Split(Replace(xmlNI.Current.InnerXml, "</div>", ""), "<div>")
For tmpcount = 0 To UBound(DivDetail)
System.Console.WriteLine(DivDetail(tmpcount))
Next
xmlNav.Select("/html/body/div[@id=""outer""]")
This is the important line, changing this will allow you to quicklly search through any HTML document, or XML, for the information you require.

okay maybe the string "inner" is a innertext.
if that is the case you can try:
if that is the case you can try:
LABEL1.TEXT = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("IDGOESHERE").innertext - 0useful

That only works for the Innertext for the DIV with a specific ID, he wants to extract all DIVs inside the DIV with the ID he knows... if that makes sense

IKR lol, thats why its was easier to use XPath then he can filter the HTML down, it works well
