    We are developing a web application and IE5.0 is the browser. The user needs to print some gifs from the displayed HTML page. The window.print() method brings up the Printer dialog box. But using javascript if we create a WebBrowser object and call its ExecWB method, the dialog box isn't shown. Isn't this a security issue ?. I remember reading somewhere in MSDN that this particular issue was found in IE 4.0 & resolved in later issues. There was even code to use hooks to suppress this dialog.What's the latest on this ? Any pointers will be helpful.

      hi Ravish I think IE 5.0 can now be considered a museum piece you should go for IE 6.0 [doesnt crash as much as earlier IE 5.0 and IE 5.5 versions] donno about the security issue..... but mostly this is affected a lot by the user's browser security settings Nish

        You are right about IE5.0 - museum piece, but cannot move to IE 6.0. Our users are still in stone age.
