Where's my $ie.Document.Body.InnerText?

If I do the following, my $ie.Document doesn't have a "Body"
property...should it?

$ie=new-object -comobject internetexplorer.application
get-childitem > temp.txt
$temp=(get-childitem temp.txt).fullname
$ie.navigate("file://$temp")
$ie.visible=$true
$ie.document|get-member

Because my $ie.Document doesn't have a "Body" property, I can't
extract the text that's supposed to be stored in
$ie.Document.Body.InnerText...Can someone help me find my Body? Am I
wrong in assuming that such a property should exist?

Try:
$ie.document.documentElement.IHTMLElement_innerText

Kiron,

That wasn't exactly it, but it led me to the right place (thank
you!). I actually found it under:
$ie.document.documentElement.innertext

What accounts for the difference between what I was seeing and what
others were seeing? Different versions of .Net Framework? Perhaps
they had prior versions of Monad or Powershell installed at one time?

Thanks,
Charlie

You are right! Sorry for the 'misdirection' but I'm glad you found your
'Body'. Although this may not be the reason, New-Object projects different
data models for COM objects when there is a .NET Interop library loaded for
that App and the -strict switch is omitted. Use –strict so PowerShell can
warn you if the created instance is wrapped. Different OS, .Net and App
versions can affect the data model for a COM object also.
