Well, Netscape 7.1 has a function named
GeckoActiveXObject
that is meant to cover JScript's
ActiveXObject
but as far is I understand it currently only allows Windows Media Player
to be instantiated.
When I try
var word = new GeckoActiveXObject('Word.Application');
I get a JavaScript error
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Unable to create an instance
of the desired COM classCOM Error Result = 80004005" nsresult:
"0x80570039 (NS_ERROR_XPC_COM_CREATE_FAILED)"
so I don't think there is a way, not even with Netscape 7.1.
And nobody seems to know for sure whether there will be any future
Netscape releases.
