1. A method of restricting and logging restricted editing operations in a co-browse session, comprising the steps of:
establishing a co-browse session between a first participant computer and a second participant computer in which a Document Object Model (DOM) of a first browser at the first participant computer is transmitted to the second participant computer, and used at the second participant computer to recreate a content of the first browser at a second browser, the DOM including a plurality of DOM elements;
implementing a list of editable elements at the first browser, the list of editable elements specifying a first subset of the DOM elements, the first subset being fewer than all of the DOM elements; and
enabling restricted editing on the co-browse session at the first browser, in which a second participant at the second participant computer is allowed to interact with the first subset of DOM elements specified by the list of editable elements and in which the second participant is not allowed to interact with any DOM elements in a second subset of DOM elements not included in the first subset of DOM elements.
