HTMLtext is a crasher - BrowserX is not!

Hi everyone,

I've been writing a stealthy web browser for work so that they can't tell 
im surfing... shhhh!
I got a big director not far and many managers walking by who can see my 
screen!

I've got it near perfect with most of the features including typeahead of 
the url, downloads,
URL resolution, history, Favorites to come soon, etc...

So first try was: 
get url fld "url"
set the htmltext of fld "html" to it

It works naturally. BUT:
keeping the images in the html field and then saving the stack is a sure 
measure of 
crashing MC or RR on NT. You can imagine the risks of corruption too ;)

Anyone go an idea on how to stop the crashing? Im just stripping the 
images!

Tip:
Tables are useless apparently because they dont seem to show or format the 
html
output (oops), and worse, Anchor tags in embedded tables (tables in 
tables) are no 
longuer considered links. So those might as well be stripped out at least 
to make the 
other anchor tags clickeable.

Now, they are clickeable, Im looking for a way to make them appear in a 
separate field
when you hover over them... Anyone got an idea on how to do that?
(on hoverlink would be nice!)

Cheers and happy browsing!
Xavier
