I have the following in a HTA script. We use Office Communicator which gives us this object.

<script language="JavaScript"> var nameCtrl = new ActiveXObject("Name.NameCtrl");</script>
<span onmouseover="call nameCtrl.ShowOOUI('sip:user.name@newsgroup',0,parent.offsetLeft,parent.offsetTop)">Hoover here</span>

However I cannot get the hoover like I can in Internet Explorer (using the same code).
It gives an error:
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'parent.offsetLeft'

My guess is that you would need to refer to the DOM explicitly rather
than the implicit way you are doing it there.

Sub bCopy_Click()
if sGlobalResult = "" Then
MsgBox "Can't copy nothing.",,"Broggle"
Else
document.parentwindow.clipboardData.SetData "text", sGlobalResult
End If
End Sub

Sub bScreen_Click
v3.Value = document.body.clientHeight
v4.Value = document.body.clientWidth
End Sub

Sub bNew_Click
rmlFile = "untitled.rml"
tMaster.Value = ""
rmlLoaded = False
bGlobalResult = ""
document.title = rmlFile
End Sub


In these function in one of my own HTAs notice that I start from
"document." and work down.

Kind regards,
Bruce.

It would be better to ask javascript questions in
the jscript group. HTAs can use VBS or JS, but your
code sample is JS. For those of us who don't use
JS there's no way to know whether you have a
syntax error.
