IE extension auto-load question

G'Day all,

I have written an extension for IE in JScript.

Is it possible to have the extension execute when the document loads in
the window as opposed to needing the user to activate it?

To achieve a similar result in firefox I simply include the line:
window.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", hello, false);

However, I suspect this is more an issue to do with how IE loads the
extension vs Firefox.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Jeffery

You need a BHO:

You can't write those in script tough, you need at least a little bit of
C++ code.

There are a few projects around to port GreaseMonkey to IE. You may be
able to use one of them, or at least borrow ideas as to how to implement
your own. See

I haven't used any of them, I don't know how good they are.

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
