There is no document.ActiveElement.href in HtmlDocument, Perhaps in Javascript Im not sure. I havent worked with Javascript would you perhaps know how i would go about using javascript to return the value?

The Solution which I figured out finally was to create a MouseOver event from the ActiveElement

C#

Element.MouseOver += new HtmlElementEventHandler(Element_MouseOver);

Now that we have this in place from the HtmlElementEventArgs we can get the active url like this

C#

string link = e.ToElement.GetAttribute("href");
