This is a real 2%er but here goes, I have created a winform in VS2010 with Gecko 2.0.1-0.10 (latest release) webbrowser control, I am using a touch screen to navigate. Sometimes when clicking a hyperlink it will select text rather than navigate, on the DomMouseUp event I want to check to see if there is selected text, if so I want to see if it is a hyperlink and if it is, where that hyperlink goes to. I had a mess around with GeckoSelection but nothing looked obvious. I am looking for a way to see if what is selected within the web browser is a hyperlink, any thoughts?

    Update: An even better solution is to use (in DomFocus again) 

    m_strInnerHtml = geckoWebBrowser.Document.ActiveElement.GetAttribute("href");

    This will return the actual hyperlink address, one thing to watch out for however is if you’re on google for example and select the “Advertising” hyperlink at the bottom of the page, it may return “/advertisingpage/” which must be appended to the original url. Clicking a hyperlink away from google will return the full address however.
