GeckoActiveXObject object
| 2.0 |
Creates an instance of an ActiveX object in Gecko based browsers.
The GeckoActiveXObject object is similar to the Internet Explorer specific ActiveXObject object.
Since ActiveX is a Microsoft technology that is only available on Windows, Gecko based browsers do not support it by default.
You can add ActiveX support to Firefox with the Mozilla ActiveX Plug-in, but it is not available for Firefox 2 and above.
If you want to embed an external application into your HTML page, use the cross-browser object element instead.
Syntax:
Methods that return the object:
| • | new GeckoActiveXObject (progIDOrclassID) |
The progIDOrclassID parameter is a string that specifies the programmatic identifier or the class identifier of the ActiveX object. The class identifier must be placed in curly braces '{}'.
