automation server can't create object - new ActiveXObject('InternetExplorer.Applicati

[lulu]

Hello!

I am getting the error 'automation server can't create object ' when trying to create new IE instance in jscript :

var ie = new ActiveXObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
ie.visible = true;
ie.navigate2('about:blank');

The site run asp.net 2.0 .

any ideas?

thanks in advance

Is it necessary to code like this? Why can you not just open a new window with the page that you require using window.open()?

[AricC]

var ie = new ActiveXObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
ie.visible = true;
ie.navigate2('about:blank');

Did you post about this on another site as well? Anyhow your syntax is incorrect.

function NewIE()
{
var ie = new 
ActiveXObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
ie.visible = true;
ie.navigate('about:blank');
}

I would stick with ACoder's idea though. Any time you run an ActiveX control your users are going to get a pop-up asking them to allow it to run.

HTH,
