Disable scripts in WebBrowser Control

Question

I have a HTML page that I want to display in a WebBrowser control, I only want to preserve its layout. It can be any page downloaded, I want it to be static (non-interactive), meaning no javascript or Flash, but the user can still use scrollbars to move around the page.

I am thinking of stripping out all tags except for basic tags (img, table, etc) because I'm not familiar with different types of scripts and plugins, I only want to preserve layout. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

It may be that the WebBrowser control has properties to disable scripts, but if not, you can use the AntiXSS library to sanitize the HTML of all executable JavaScript.
