It doesn't seem to be possible to attach files to posts any more.

As for DHTML...it's one of those things you just have to try. It depends on what the javascript is trying to do. The embedded Internet Explorer control probably has a different Document Object Model than the full Internet Explorer application.

Re: Problem at runtime with an HTML object

You might not be able to correct it, without changing the DHTML -- in other words, it depends on what the DHTML (i.e. Javascript) is trying to do.

The Web Browser Object uses the Internet Explorer control...but the rest of the Internet Explorer application is not there. Just the "guts."

Each browser has a "Document Object Model," which is basically an "interface" that a client-side script like Javascript can use to manipulate the browser and its contents. DHTML is just normal HTML that uses Javascript to make the HTML change when certain things happen -- to make the HTML dynamic.

It sounds like your DHTML isn't working because the "interface" that an embedded Internet Explorer control presents to Javascript is either (1) different from the one that the regular Internet Explorer browser uses or (2) doesn't even exist at all.

Since it works fine in Internet Explorer (the full application), then you could do a "File - Open" action to open the DHTML in the user's web browser, instead of displaying it in a Web Browser Object. It won't be part of the page, but at least the DHTML will work, if that's more important to you.
