I'm working om a Webpage project where I'm copying from a word document
to a webpage with a box similar to the message box I'm presently typing
in. The webpage doesn't allow modifying the innertext or innerHTML. I
saved the word document to HTM file format. I then open the html file
as a text file and perform a readall. Then simply move it to the outter
html

IE.myobject.outterhtml = fs.readall

This destroys the box and just displays the tagged data. I was
thinking of just replacing the body protion of the outterhtml but I
can't even find the body tags and don't think this will work. Any
suggestions on the best approach. I know from looking at the proerties
of the obx object is does allow pasting but not sure the syntax to copy
the data from the DOC into the webpage object.

Why not post the HTML for the "box" ? It's hard to tell what you mean since
there seem to be multiple interfaces for this newsgroup (for better or
worse...)

It's an IFRAME, so treat it like a regular frame. You sould be able to get
to the content of the iframe using this:

IE.document.getElementById("compose_editorArea").d ocument

It's hard to say what to do next, since I don't know what's inside the
iframe. Try doing a view-source on it.
