Re: FN-FORUM: ActiveX Content, Internet Explorer

I think the Active-X "click here" thing is to do with that Patent battle
M$ lost about running programs embedded in a web browser. Or perhaps that
isn't coming until IE7.

Anyway, ActiveX is too powerful for its own good, and terribly easy to
create backdoors for hackers (see Sony DRM fiasco) if you don't know what
you're doing. If it has to be client-side, use Javascript or Java :)
