Subject: KB891781 DHTML edit update - no such interface supported
Hi All:

I haven't seen this exact issue posted here, but apologize if this has
been replied to previously.

The company I work for uses the MS DHTML edit control as our primary
editor in our software product. Since the release of this hotfix, we
have only developed one solution, which is to remove the update, then
try to coerce our customer's corporate IT people to hold off deploying
it.

We did a little research with the DHTML edit control, and it would
appear that many of the interfaces it exports return NULL pointers,
specifically any interface which would return a reference to the DOM
document. We access the object through the OCX, in a Delphi
application, so perhaps there is a solution available to a C++
developer that we don't currently have available.

I know of a handful of other applications that are similarly broken,
is there documentation available on a new method of using the
control(s)? Is there a way to instantiate it that is 'safe' such that
we can again access the DOM object? Running it in our application on
the local machine doesn't seem like it should relate to 'cross site
scripting' which is what was apparently resolved...
