I'm completely new to developing IE extensions with Browser Helper Objects.
I managed to create a BHO that successfully inserts a script tag that references a javascript file in the head of the HTML page (see code below).
But the script tag just sits there in the DOM and the external javascript file is not executed.
Is there any way to tell the browser to run the external javascript file?
Thanks!
Code Details: I call the following method on the OnDocumentComplete event:
void CHelloWorldBHO::InsertScriptTag(IDispatch* pDispDoc) { HRESULT hr = S_OK; // query for an HTML document. CComQIPtr<IHTMLDocument3> pDocument3 = pDispDoc; CComQIPtr<IHTMLDocument2> pDocument2 = pDispDoc; if (pDocument2 != NULL && pDocument3 != NULL) { // ********************** create our script tag Element (pHtmlElem) **************************** IHTMLElement* pHtmlElem; CComVariant vAlert="http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/share/js/?action=getDailyVerse"; // example referencing external JS code CComVariant vJavascript="text/javascript"; hr = pDocument2->createElement(_T("script"), &pHtmlElem); if (SUCCEEDED(hr) && pHtmlElem != NULL) { hr = pHtmlElem->setAttribute(_T("type"), vJavascript); hr = pHtmlElem->setAttribute(_T("src"), vAlert); } // ********************** insert Element (pHtmlElem) in HTML Head **************************** // Get the head from the DOM. static const CComBSTR sbstrHead(L"head"); CComPtr<IHTMLElementCollection> objects; hr = pDocument3->getElementsByTagName(sbstrHead, &objects); if(SUCCEEDED(hr) && objects != NULL) { // Get the number of elements in the collection. long nElements = 0; hr = objects->get_length(&nElements); if (hr == S_OK && nElements > 0) { CComVariant svarItemIndex(0); // we will get the first element CComVariant svarEmpty; CComPtr<IDispatch> spdispElement; // Get the element out of the collection with index 0 (the first element, that is, the head) hr = objects->item(svarItemIndex, svarEmpty, &spdispElement); if (hr == S_OK && spdispElement != NULL) { CComQIPtr<IHTMLDOMNode, &IID_IHTMLDOMNode> spHeadNode = spdispElement; // query for DOM interfaces CComQIPtr<IHTMLDOMNode, &IID_IHTMLDOMNode> spNodeNew; spNodeNew = pHtmlElem; if (spHeadNode) { spHeadNode->appendChild(spNodeNew, NULL); } } } } }
