IHTMLDocument2 get_applets
-
I was wondering if someone could give me a hint on how to access the objects in the IHTMLElementCollection returned from get_applets(). I can get to the IHTMLElement and see the innerHTML - that indeed I have the correct objects. I am was hoping for something similar to images where you get the object as a IHMTLImgElement, that gives you specific functionality based around images, except in this case for the embedded objects. I have been tasked with extracting various parts of webpages, the missing functionality is retrieving where media players(embedded) are getting content and what flash players are using for content. I expected the embeded objects to come in from the get_embedded() call, but look at the IE DOM, they are indeed placed under the applet branch. I can get the innerHTML, and parse it myself, but if there is some object like IHTMLAppletElement(which I don't think exists from the IDL - and MS docs are vague about, other than images, links and anchors) that gives me specific funcationality, would be great. I don't want to parse the innerHTML unless it's my last resort. That will leave me in the relative vs absolute path quagmire for the media paths. Thanks in Advance.:)
