Problem accessing DOM using 1.6 ActiveX Mozilla Control

Hi all,

When I access the Webbrowser control in ActiveX and retrieve the
"Document" property, I get a valid OLE automation control. If I then
retrieve the "all" property from the Document, I get an OLE automation
control with no methods/properties.

If I do the same thing in IE I get a list of valid methods such as
"length()", "item(int i)" etc etc

Is this just a problem with the ActiveX bridge in Mozilla?

Any help would be much appreciated!

I don't know about the Mozilla Active-X control but in general Mozilla 
implements the W3C DOM and that doesn't define an all property for 
document objects.

Fair enough.

However, it also doesn't have any properties/methods in
the "body" property of "Document" which seems wrong
according to the W3C DOM.

Maybe someone having experience with embedding can answer/explain that, 
as said I don't use the control and only know about the DOM in Mozilla 
when used in a browser and there for HTML documents the document object 
has a body property.
