IEHtmlWindow

	No, it is a listing of the constructor for the class, not a snippet
of 
	code showing how to use it.  So the self parameter should be removed

	because what you need to pass to the constructor is a parent window
for 
	the html control, that is how similar things are shown elsewhere in
the 
	book.  (The confusion you are having is that in the context of using
the 
	class the parent window is often called self because you are
creating it 
	in the constructor (or __init__) of the parent window.)

	Pardon, I should have read more carefully.

	Which version of wxPython do you use?  There was at one time a bug 
	related to tab traversal of form controls, etc.

	How do you load the initial page?  I don't use this control very
much 
	myself but I think that if you are loading from a string or a stream

	then there is no context for IE to use to figure out how to find a 
	relative link.  If you instead load the initial page with LoadURL()
then 
	I think it should work.


wxWidgets-2.6.3 with Python2.4

That fixed the rel link problem. Thanks a lot!

Best,
Chris
