It's easy. Just create an application that hosts the MSHTML ActiveX control (IE itself minus the interface). With tools like Delphi or Visual Basic, it's literally a matter of dragging and dropping the control into the form. Even in Visual C++ it's not that hard. Forcing Javascript to be on is somewhat more tricky. There are a couple COM interfaces that you to implement. I suggest you google "MSHTML hosting" for more info. The newsgroup microsoft.public.inetsdk.programming.mshtml_hosting is also an excellent resource. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
