Reading IE browser contents?

Hi
I need to write an application that can read the contents of IE6.

Basically the user opens an intranet site and displays a page then from
within an app they click a button that first checks the page title and if
the first x characters match then it reads the page and extracts various
document values (div tags, form elements, etc) and stores them else where.

Is this possible or will Microsoft's security model stop it from working?
this is for IE6 only.

is so is there any examples on how I could do this?

thanks

Adrian,
Certainly possible. Look up shell windows and internet explorer server
in google. You can use these techniques to get the 'document object
model' from which you can access all the html.

Cheers,
James.
