i don't believe there is a clean way to extract the webshell/docshell associated with a given http channel. the relationship simply isn't maintained at the http level. that said, the docshell/webshell may be indirectly accessible as the channel's listener or notification callbacks or via one of the interfaces that the channel's notification callbacks provides... very indirect (and not at all "kosher") at best. darin
