Basically I want to develop a BHO that validates certain fields on a form and auto-places disposable e-mails in the appropriate fields (more for my own knowledge). So in the DOCUMENTCOMPLETE event I have this: for(long i = 0; i < *len; i++) { VARIANT* name = new VARIANT(); name->vt = VT_I4; name->intVal = i; VARIANT* id ...

I support a .NET IE Toolbar, for a population of users that have a variety of OS and IE versions, in a variety of remote locations.

Firefox has the Sandbox and evalInSandbox(). Chrome has sandboxed execution in their content scripts (they call it isolated execution). I'm looking for the same thing in an IE browser extension. I can load a javascript file, then call evalScript(), but the code executes in the same environment as javascript that exists on the page. I ne...
