Re: Capturing a browser event in an ActiveX Browser Window

This is one of those kinds of questions where the gut level reaction is "this person is not likely to get a satisfactory answer" ...

Hopefully, the gut is wrong, but on the off chance that a more direct and satisfying solution is not forthcoming, perhaps you can try an alternative approach. The alternative is to use 'perlscript' directly in a web browser page hosted in Internet Explorer. If you want it, here is a sample that does what you were asking about. Admittedly, it is a far cry from the (apparently a spider?) application that you are working on.

<html xmlns:ie="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie">
<head>
    <title>insert_title_here</title>
    <script language="perlscript">
        sub captureClick{
            if( $window->{event}{srcElement}{tagName} eq 'A'){
                alert('someone clicked a link!!');
            };
        }###end_sub
    </script>

</head>
<body  onclick="captureClick()">

    <a href="#">foo link</a>

</body>
</html>
