webbrowser control and HTC (html component file)

**=?Utf-8?B?Q29kZVJhem9y?=** · Jun 27 '08, 07:48 PM

Hi,

Is it possible to access an htc file from the windows webbrowser control? I
am receiving the following error:

"An error has occurred in the script on this page."
"Error: Access is denied to [path]"
"Url: about:blank"

I am able to access the htc file when i run the host web page as a normal
html file, (outside of the webbrowser control).
But when i try to load that html string as document text in my webbrowser
control, I receive the above error.

I have tried the following approaches :
- make htc reference local e.g. LI {behavior:url(' hilite.htc')}
- make htc reference absolute e.g. LI {behavior:url(' C:\Documents and
Settings\erika. hobbs\Desktop\H TML_components\ hilite.htc')}
- make htc reference via a website url e.g. LI
{behavior:url(' http://mysite/HTCResources/hilite.htc')}
- access a resource library e.g. { behavior: url(
"res://Resource.dll/hilite.HTC" ) }

Below is my exact code:
hilite.htc:

<PUBLIC:COMPONE NT>
<PUBLIC:ATTAC H EVENT="onmouseo ver" ONEVENT="Hilite ()" />
<PUBLIC:ATTAC H EVENT="onmouseo ut" ONEVENT="Restor e()" />
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScri pt">
var normalColor, normalSpacing;

function Hilite()
{
// save original values
normalColor = runtimeStyle.co lor;
normalSpacing= runtimeStyle.le tterSpacing;

runtimeStyle.co lor = "red";
runtimeStyle.le tterSpacing = 2;
}

function Restore()
{
// restore original values
runtimeStyle.co lor = normalColor;
runtimeStyle.le tterSpacing = normalSpacing;
}
</SCRIPT>
</PUBLIC:COMPONEN T>

Host page: main.htm
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
LI {behavior:url(' hilite.htc')}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>Mouse over the two list items below to see this effect.
<UL>
<LI>HTML Authoring</LI>
<LI>Dynamic HTML</LI>
</UL>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Please help.

Many thanks.
