Thanks, I would never be able to figure this out and Google didn't help.
Initially there was no joy, as it still didn't work in convoluted 7000 line Javascript which I tried to amend. But simple example confirmed that it works.

>>>Yes, nearly identical, as IE is activeX. Did a lot of that last century when IE was dominant, but today more and more devs want to escape IE problems. Also I found newer versions of IE to be less stable as activeX components than in IE4-IE6 times, but that might be a misperception as back then I spent much more time roboting WebBrowser and InternetExplorer.Application.
