ActiveX by using javascript help

[shoram]

my first question is can i define a activex object using javascript so i won't need to use IIS
and my second question is how to do so if it is possible

[gits]

hi ...

what do you mean with 'define' ... clientside you may use ActiveX-Objects with jscript and IE only ...

kind regards

[shoram]

define like (in the javascript area)
var obj = new createobject(...) or like
var obj = new ActivexObject(...)

[gits]

var obj = new createobject(...) or like
var obj = new ActivexObject(...)

yes ... you can ;) for example:

var xml_http_request_obj = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP');
 

but as i said: it's IE-specific and not used by all other browsers ...

kind regards

[shoram]

thank you very much but if it wont be a problem can you tell me how to activate that object?

[gits]

hmmm ... the object has some methods you may call ... the shown one has open(), send() etc. ... and as far as i know you may find the documentation for the most common ActiveX-Objects at msdn. when using new ActiveXObject you create an instance of the 'class' and then you may use its methods, ask for the properties etc.

kind regards

it really helped , thanks

[gits]

no problem ;) ... post to the forum again when you have more questions ... anytime ...

kind regards

Read up on the object in the documentation. Use the properties, attributes, methods, etc. of the class.

If you don't know how to access a particular element on the page, show your HTML code.

Also, perhaps you could explain exactly what you are trying to do. There may be a better way rather than using ActiveX.

See if this Microsoft KB article helps. Also, see this thread.

I've merged your threads - it's still the same problem.

Have you checked out the links? I think that you will need to sign your control (have it authenticated) to prevent the messages appearing.

i can create a object now because i registered the dll in the regasm and every thing is oky doky but now i need it without the annoying message when i activate that activex that says that the activex might be unsafe without changing the security levels in the internet option
somebody told me i needed to do a IObjectSafety interface but i cant find an easy example that is not in chinees.
if you can explain it to me or just send an exemple in c# that will be great
