I'm trying to get InnerText property of HTMLElement of already opened WebBrowser (from SAP GUI Scripting GuiHTMLViewer object > BrowserHandle > Document) using pywin (win32com) lib on Python.

I got a WebBrowser, which have Document property (object HTMLDocument), which have methods, for example:

getElementsByTagName(string TagName)

When I try to use this method on Python

document = browser_handle.document
elements = document.getElementsByTagName("td")

it says

TypeError: getElementsByTagName() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

but when I try to use this method on VBA, it's success:

Set BrowserHandle = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsSO33_TAB1/tabpTAB1/ssubSUB1:SAPLSO33:1100/cntlCONTROL/shellcont/shell").BrowserHandle
Set Document = BrowserHandle.Document
Set Elements = Document.getElementsByTagName("td")
MsgBox Elements.Item(0).InnerText

Sorry, it's just one typo. Actually there is `elements = document.getElementsByTagName("td")` – Artur Lich Mar 25 '19 at 12:54
Why SAP tag? it is a python/vba question – manuel_b Mar 25 '19 at 13:45
It's GuiHTMLViewer object. I'm trying to read SOST messages for backend testing. GuiHTMLViewer->BrowserHandle->Document – Artur Lich Mar 25 '19 at 13:49
