How to know NN/IE home page URL ?
I know, IE 5.0 has behaviors, and one of them is "homepage". But it only allows to navigate to homepage, but not to read its current URL. I tried to make navigation in the hidden frame and then read its document.location, but homepage.navigate ignores frames and opens the homepage in the whole window (sh@#...).
I would appreciate any ideas how to know user's homepage from JavaScript/VBScript in any browser !

You are experiencing exactly what was intended. You will not be able to read the document.location even if you are able to launch in one of your pages own frames (and I dont think it will allow that either). It is a security feature of the browser to prevent sites from eavesdropping on a users activity......Just curious of your intended usage of the info were you able to retrieve it????

I need kinda survey what URLs have users as homepages. I can't explain how to extract it from the settings, it's too difficult for survey task.
If so, OK, but I should force users to print it manually...
