Hi Kevin, You're on the right track; the only thing misleading you is the name "browsemode lines"; it's not always a line you get as one of the members of this collection; if it's a link, then the link will be a member. If a given line has 10 links, then you'll get 10 more members of the collection just for the links of that one line.
You were close to finding the links also, it's not because you weren't in browsemode (you're always in browsemode by default when you open a page), it's just that you were unlucky in your guesses. Below is a code snipit I used in Immed to find the links of the current page; I typed this in in the single line mode, although it would be easier to do it in the multiline mode: for each x in browsemode.lines: if x.isLink then print x.index : end if: next I got a list of the indexes of each of the links in the collection. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin Huber [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, June 29, 2012 4:28 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: script to automatically turn off Browse mode in > edit boxes > > Hi: > I was just playing with the BrowseMode, BrowseModeLines and > BrowseModeLine objects to see if I could get what I want from > the BrowseModeLine object, since some of the properties of > that object are "IsLink", "IsQuote" and a few other similar > ones.
