Using javascript to enable ActiveX control?

109 100+
Hi...

I want to use ActiveXObject to get some data from the client side. However, some browser does not enable ActiveXObject. Is there any way to enable it using a javascript? Thanks!

ActiveX is only supported by IE, so no, you can't use Javascript to enable it in browsers that don't support it.

There is probably a non-ActiveX alternative for what you are trying to do.

Heya, skyy.

Don't be silly. Would you want websites to be able to turn extensions on and off in your browser without your permission?

How about being able to disable the popup blocker?
