Microsoftafter testing the new web browser control, unfortunately at this point in time it is useless.
reasons
1. no DOM manipulation or even loop through the DOM read only , this means we cannot get any data from the current document to the user. the javascript is buggy and very limited.
2. the "Trusted Domains" issue.
this make this browser a web page viewer - not a real browser, case in point, i open google search and have a list of sites.
instead of open the clicked site in the control, it sends the link to the user default browser therefore, the idea of a web browser inside access is dead.
3. navigation to new URL always goes to the user default browser - same result as 2 above.
4. very limited VBA automation and very buggy.
5. lost the ability to open HTML stream directly unless save the stream to a file then open it.
Bottomline - this is not an enterprise ready product / component.
why would someone use this component?!.
*** at this point in time we are stuck from one end, with an old control that is no longer functional for many modern sites.
and from the other end a non functional new control.
