Interacting with Mozilla DOM?

I'm trying to figure out a way of controlling/interacting with the Mozilla DOM without JavaScript, and in a not-too-hacky way. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ken

Depending on your OS...on *nix there is gtkmozembed, which has ruby
bindings [1]. There's also rbXPCOM (looks old) [2]. I've never used
either, so I don't know how well they work (if at all).

The Ruby binding to GtkMozEmbed doesn't seem to let you access the
underlying XPCOM DOM object, only trivially display some HTML and
whatever else Gecko supports right now.
