Is there a way to invoke IE's Find Dialog programatically?

I'm hoping to do this using JavaScript in a webpage, but I haven't found
anywhere that it is possible to call the Find Dialog or to send a ctrl F to
the browser.
 
Hi David,

You need to script the Web Browser control (Unfortunately there is now a
user setting to allow scripting of the web browser control so this method
may not work on all clients, you need to add instructions to your page to
tell your uses how to enable scripting of the web browser control)

You will find instructions to display the find dialog here

If you want search and find functionality built into your page visit

Contact me at http://www.iecustomizer.com/?url=Contact.asp to discuss the
availability of the source code.

Regards.
