I ended up using the DHTML edit control to get the HTML. Using the inet control didn't work since PSC monitors for this. I tried using the Webbrowser control, but obtaining the source code from DOM is difficult since the documentcomplete event fires everytime a frame or embed finishes loading. Anyway, I know it seems weird but this method seemed to work by far the best.
