I would like to develop a Java ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer 8.
The purpose of the application is to read data from the IE8 page which is currently open (in terms of JS, a few getElementById) and to form a mail message from it.
Everything is developed except one thing, which is more or less the initial thing:
- what exactly should be loaded when a button is clicked on IE8?
- The page from which I am going to read is dhtml, therefore JS getelementbyid does not work, I need it to read directly
- The URL of the page is also dynamic and external (i did not develop it): therefore is there even a possibility to get an element to java app straigt from the browser?
And probably at first I should ask if it is even possible to be done in Java, though I am sure it is possible with .net.
Any assistance/experience is welcome and much appreciated.
