Hi Chris,

Wow... thanks for your help! Your idea is very nice!

I don't have the method "browser.execute(..)" in my SWT Browser Widget
(did you write kind of a subclass of browser with a method "execute(..)"?),
so I couldn't run your code snippet.

But I understand the thinking behind your idea and I will try to find a way
for the "execute" !

Thanks very much!
Regards,
Othmar
