Answer 1

Webbrowser control is really crappy. I'm assuming you're trying to scape some kind of website. For this use HttpWebRequest instead.

If you`re trying create your own webbrowser: don't, or use Webkit or Gecko instead.

Answer 2

In case you're using the webbrowser control you will have to enable JavaScript in your Internet Explorer settings, because the webbrowser control is the Internet Explorer or at least the engine of it. IE has local JavaScript disabled by default, so this could be your problem. As user @user3855678 said I would recommend using Webkit etc too.

Answer 3

WebKit DotNet is the best port of WebKit powerful browser engine into DotNetFramework.

It has nice and easy tutorials and properties and methods to customize.

It has JavaScript activated by default.

http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/ is the official website.
