I'm using the OnLoad event of a TBrowser with IE11. When I try to read the DocumentText property I get an exception on the JS line:

$r = $t.telement_fdomelement.contentDocument

which states "access denied".

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mark

This is simple browser security. You simply cannot do it.

Hi Matthew

Fair comment, however (a) I'm just trying to read the value (b) Tim has wrapped this already as a read / write property (c) all other browsers seem to support this.

So I think it's just not as simple as "you can't do it"?

Yes, you are probably right, but I suspect that it will become harder
over time, not easier. Key is it isn't an EWB issue, but javascript
generally, so you can google generally to find solutions.

http://javascript.info/tutorial/same-origin-security-policy is
interesting, but it seems that the domain is a key part of whether you
can do it. Good luck!

Where ever the content in the TBrowser control is coming from will need to handle/return the proper CORS headers in order to allow the client application direct access to the document content in the TBrowser control.  This is out of the hands of EWB.
