I need to capture the HTML that the server sent to me when sending a request. And I revise the HTML, then resend to the webbrowser to display it. Could you please give me some ideas on how to do it? Thanks. :)

P.S.: Sorry I didn't explain what I want to do carefully.
For example, I use IE to surf the internet and I want to write a program to capture the HTML which is supposed to be got by IE. After that, I revise the HTML, then send it back to IE :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

You're going to have to write your own web browser.

Try createrequest:

<removed language="javascript" type="text/javascript" />
    var request;
    //var h=0;
    function createrequest()
    {
        request=null;
        request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP";);
        // this will work only in IE other browser's object are different
        if (request == null)
            alert("Error Creating Object";);
    }
    function updatepage()
    {
        if (request.readyState == 4)
        {
            var rate;
            rate = request.responseText;
            // this rate var has got all the html text returned from server
        }
    }
    function GetRate()
    {
        var fullurl;
        createrequest();
        fullurl = "ABC.HTML";
        request.open("GET", fullurl, true);
        request.onreadystatechange=updatepage;
        request.send(null);
    }

Try this JavaScript:

After you get the HTML, modify it and write in a DIV (ID should be "Result") object like:

document.getElementById("Result").innerHTML=rate;

I hope this will solve your purpose.
