Can we make a silverlight application, hosting MSHTML and working in design mode?

Hi all. :-)

We have an HTML editor product, using MSHTML design mode, deployed as ActiveX control.

But many clients of us don't like ActiveX. So we need a new technology.

We want to use the design mode of MSHTML and run the app on most browsers.
Can the silverlight be a good solution for us?
Where can we find the articles about this?

 Thanks.

No you can not use an activex control in silverlight.  Silverlight uses xaml not html

Yes, you're right.

So we decided to make a WPF web application, hosting System.Windows.Forms. And the MSHTML would be hosted in the Forms.

The only problem is our future clients should install the large runtime env. T.T

Anyway, thanks for your answer. :-)
