in retrospective I now understand why Zen Master... you certantly need lots of patience to deal guys like me. I really appreciate the support...

I guess I am getting close, my code now looks like:

Qt Code:
  1. void Window::examineChildElements(const QWebElement &parentElement,
  2. QTreeWidgetItem *parentItem)
  3. {
  4. QWebElement element = parentElement.firstChild();
  5. while (!element.isNull()) {
  6.  
  7. item->setText(0, element.tagName());
  8. parentItem->addChild(item);
  9.  
  10. if (element.tagName()== "TEXTAREA")
  11. {
  12. QWebElement textArea;
  13.  
  14. element.appendInside(textArea);
  15.  
  16. textArea.evaluateJavaScript("this.value = \"some new value for text area\"");
  17. }
  18.  
  19.  
  20. examineChildElements(element, item);
  21.  
  22. element = element.nextSibling();
  23. }
  24. }
