ActiveX isn't supported in Netscape. I'm certain of this in 4.x, and I'm willing to bet this is also the case in 6.x. ActiveX is a Microsoft technology and is not an industry standard. Jeremy L. Falcon Homepage : Sonork = 100.16311

From my point of view of Windows programmer, class id means GUID of the COM/ActiveX object.. But Netscape says it support HTML 4 in NS6 (incl. OBJECT tag), but looks like I can't use ActiveX GUID in it. So I can think about 2 ways - Netscape lies and it doesn't support HTML4, or "classid" is something else and not what I'm thinking. Then what is "classid" in Object tag? Philip Patrick Web-site: www.stpworks.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer

This is not related to ActiveX other than the controls use them. Support for the object tag doesn't mean ActiveX support. Other instances of using the object tag would be for RealAudio/Video, Flash, etc. It's still up to the user agent (e.g.; Netscape) to interpret the object data. Ever notice you have to install plug-ins for Real and Flash? It's processed by the browser. The HTML specification doesn't cover this. Hope that helps. Jeremy L. Falcon Homepage : Sonork = 100.16311
