What's the new thing after ActiveX?

Hi,
I need to do some graphics work from my ASP.NET 2.0 Website (can upgrade to
3.0 if really needed). Actually, I need the user to be able to draw some
things in a rectangle. Some years ago I would have do it using ActiveX, but
now I know MS has a new philosophy about this, probably driven to more and
more security.

What I want to know is : What's the new thing now? Is "the new thing"
working on Windows, Mac and Linux? What about IE, Netscape, Firefox and
Opera? Should I resolve to use Java (I'd really appreciate if I could avoid
it)? Would the installation of the .NET Framework be required on the client
machine?

Actually, I don't need the control (or whatever it's called) to work on
everything, but the most would be the better... The bare minumum would be
Windows and Mac, IE and Netscape (and Firefox for instance)

Thanks

You could use an embedded windows forms control.
Here are the details:

It's limited to windows and the windows user must have the .NET framework
installed.

Hi! I know that ActiveX is an old technology. But it gives programmer ability to read all resources on local machine from IE. I am using it in one of my ASP.NET projects. Firefox can use ActiveX when you have plug-in installed. Is there anything ActiveX-like which is supported by all browsers? Thanks Hubertos
