Hi Thanks for the response and for the code. However, I want to trap events like mouse click on the HTML document loaded by the web browser control. The code mentioned below provides events from the web browser control. I need to find out on which particular HTML tag did the user click for example. How do I find that out? There should be some way to refer to a document from a given web browser control and start receiving events from it
