No one responded to my question about getting hold
of InternetExplorer.Application on later Windows versions.
It's all gone, but the functionality is still built in and
HTAs still work.
Personally I write a lot of HTAs but I also use IE as
a GUI for scripts. The above is a solution. It's a simple, tiny
wrapper ActiveX EXE that will work on virtually any Windows
machine with no requirements other than COM registration.
Source code included. It basically just wraps IE, as closely
as possible, so that one need only substitute
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
with
Set IE = CreateObject("jsIE.Browser")
There are minor differences, but the basics are there,
including script access to the DOM for whatever IE
core is on your system.
