How to receive events (eg. user mouse clicks) from IE

[cal_2pac at yahoo.com]

Hi
Thanks for the response and for the code.
However, I want to trap events like mouse click on the HTML document
loaded by the web browser control. The code mentioned below provides
events from the web browser control. I need to find out on which
particular HTML tag did the user click for example.
How do I find that out? There should be some way to refer to a document
from a given web browser control and start receiving events from it
