Hi, Mike --

There should be a way to extract it, but I'm not sure what it is. You can view all the HTML by inspecting it with Chrome, using chrome://inspect/#devices <chrome://inspect/#devices>. It will show you the instances inside Omnis of oBrowser and you can drill down and even debug the HTML and Javascript. So there must be some hook that you could use to do this.

Also, when in Windows (not Mac), I'm pretty sure I remember you can right-click to get to a similar debugging window. So the information is there somewhere.

More information starts here: https://www.omnis.net/developers/resources/onlinedocs/index.jsp?detail=Programming/11wincomps.html#obrowser-configuration <>
