Execute Javascript Command in Selenium to get data from a webpage

Question

    <h4>Lotus</h4>

What i want is to grab the Lotus Value from the h4 tag , in another post I got the answer using a javascript command as follow:

document.getElementById('17285').getElementsByTagName('h4')[0].innerHTML;

and it worked fine.

What i want to do now is to use this javascript in Selenium.

I tried the following Code :

MsgBox driver.executeScript("javascript:document.getElementById('17285').getElementsByTagName('h4')[0].innerHTML;")

but I get an empty messagebox, does anybody know why.

Thank you for your help !

here is a part of the HTML Page <div style="background-image:url(/vp4/_sales/LOTUS15//Visual_fr.jpg)" id="17171" data-opcode="LOTUS15" data-opcategory="EventDrivenSale" data-opopenday="6"> <a id="linkSale" class="linkAccess" title="" href="/vp4/Home/Handlers/OperationAccess.ashx?operationid=17171" onclick="javascript:PrepareEventOnLinksAnchor(17171);"> <h4>Lotus</h4>

Your id in HTML(17171) dosen't match with id in code(17285). Try this:

MsgBox driver.executeScript("javascript:document.getElementById('17171').getElementsByTagName('h4')[0].innerHTML;")
