Hi Arsen,

If you need a hint, you can have a look at the internal classes in the SWT
Source folder org.eclipse.swt/Eclipse SWT
Mozilla/common/org/eclipse/swt/internal/mozilla. Note they really are
'internal' and not part of the API!!! They are part of the implementation
and may change anytime. They are used to bind to Mozilla itself. If you
are familiar with XPCOM and Mozilla programming this will sound familiar.
You need to add many more interfaces to be able to 'talk' to the Mozilla
DOM. You can obtain the nsIWebBrowser instance from the implementation of
the Browser class. From there you can call GetContentDOMWindow etc. You
may prefer writing this using C++ instead of java if you find it easier.
Otherwise, if you own the HTML content, you can access the DOM through
javascript.
