How to add function to ie to parse html of current web page??

[Leon]

He there,

i am looking for a way to add a function to ie7 or ie8 which parses the
html code of the current web page and then copies parts of it to the
clipboard so the data can be used via copy & paste.


Any hints on how to add this kind of functionality would be highly
appreciated.

thx.

Sounds like you want to write an IE "add-on".

When I entered "ie addon sdk" in Google, I got almost 6 million hits.

Here are a few of the first links, in case for some reason your 'o' key
isn't working any more and you're having trouble typing "www.google.com"
in your browers:

And until you get that 'o' key fixed, here's a link you can click that
should help you find out more:

Hope that helps!

thanks alot for your reply. just checked the "o" key and it seems to be
working ok ;-)

I already tried google and found those addon things. but i was hoping for
an easier way like macro programming or so.
