Hi jokolee

AxWebBrowser1.Document is of type Object, which has only one method:
GetType. However, the Document property implements several interfaces, such
as IHTMLDocument and IHTMLDocument2.

Type the following

DirectCast(AxWebBrowser1.Document, mshtml.IHMTLDocument2)

and at the end of the line press . (period). The intellisense should list
the methods and properties supported on this interface.

The reason why your code works is that (I suspect) you have Option Strict
off by default, and this allows late binding. So, at runtime, a check is
made to see if all.tags etc. is supported, which it is, so it works. I would
recommend turning Option Strict on and explicitly qualifying the type of the
objects you are using by applying DirectCast. It might be more typing but it
is more reliable and you will get the benefit of intellisense. It will also
run more quickly because late binding is expensive of time.
