ActiveX Object, redirection if installation fails

[Cornelius]

Hi,

I have an object tag in my html page.
I try to install an MSXML-ActiveX
..
..
..
<OBJECT id="MSXML4"
classid="clsid:88d969c0-f192-11d4-a65f-0040963251e5"
codebase="http://www..../msxml4.cab#version=4,10,9404,0"
type="application/x-oleobject"
STYLE="display: none"
standby="ww">
Alternative Text
</OBJECT>

The "Alternative Text" is shown, if installing fails. Cause could be:
No admin rights.

Instead of showing such a text, I want to redirect to another url, to
show help for installing manually.

How can I?

Thanks in advance

Cornelius

The easiest and most reliable way is to replace the "Alternative text"
by a link to the help page. For example:

Installation failed, <A HREF="help.html">Click</A> for help.

Try this,
<OBJECT id="MSXML4"
classid="clsid:88d969c0-f192-11d4-a65f-0040963251e5"
codebase="http://www..../msxml4.cab#version=4,10,9404,0"
type="application/x-oleobject"
STYLE="display: none"
standby="ww">
Alternative Text
</OBJECT>

<script>
//if msxml4 is not installed
if( !document.MSXML4 ){
document.loction.href = "SomePage.html"
}

</script>

Hope this helps you,
