The controls and features of the embedded web browser are pretty limited. Perhaps more control over how it looks, remove scroll bars, change the background, add a border?

A program has almost no control over the display of an embedded ActiveX control - it is a child window that exists separately from the rest of the "real" page.

If you want to add a border you can put a frame behind the browser and add effects to that. The scrollbars and background are down to the HTML you display within the browser object - you could control them with embedded CSS.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Duncan. Unfortunately, whilst able to remove the scroll bars from the web page - I have been unable to do this with a web browser object embedded into an Opus web pub. No matter, I got around this by using masks. However, this meant that I had to group browser an masks in the same frame. An unforeseen result of this was that I was unable to update the embedded browser using a variable. It would seem that putting the browser in a frame makes it invisible to the rest of the publication. I overcame this one as well! I created 2 identical pages and swapped between them. The variable updated before loading the page. Seems to work!
