Ermmm I thought you started off this thread saying that you had it working in firefox and not IE.
If so cant you take the working part in firefox and replace the above with it.
The example I gave, was a suggestion that may help you get to your goal, basically we use it to get the selected text, but if you do select an image it does return the whole <img ..... /> tag just as if you requested outerHTML.
Anyway if none of the above suggestions help, then i guess its back to the cutesoft support guys for help, i am just a cutesoft user.
