Do you happen to know if the DOM is read/write in an "InternetExplorer.Application" application object? Or is it readonly?
Oh yeah... another possible problem: I want to pass in HTML text. I don't want to deal with temporary files, which might be a requirement because NavigateTo might be the only way to load the DOM.

>>I need to programmatically parse and modify snippets of HTML on the fly using the DOM. I would like to do it invisibly and efficiently, i.e., just a parser to give me the DOM the way MSXML does for XML. It seems that MSHTML provides the capabilities to do that, but I have not been able to determine if it has a COM interface compatible with VFP. I need something like:
>>
oParser=CreateObject("MSHTML.HTMLDocument")
>>cHTMLDocument="<HEAD></HEAD><BODY>" + cMyHTMLSnippet + "</BODY></HTML>"
>>oParser.DocumentHTML=cHTMLDocument
>>
>>nImages=oParser.Document.DOM.Images.Length
>>
>>For i=0 to nImages-1
>> oThisImage=oParser.Document.DOM.Images[i]
>> etc...
>>Endfor
>>
>>cNewHTML=oParser.Document.DOM.body.innerHTML
>>I can do this, and have it working, by using the DHTMLEdit control and driving it programmatically, but it seems to insist on being instantiated as a form-based control in order to operate. So I have this unnecessary form creation/destruction (and hiding issues). Isn't there a better way? Thanks for any suggestions!
