ActiveX on Linux?

[Dirso]

Hi, Will this run only on Internet Explorer? http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/CreateActiveXDotNet.aspx[^] Would it run over Firefox on Linux? Is there a simpler way to just embed my .net dll control into my webform (.aspx)? Thanks, Dirso

Linux has Mono, but I am pretty sure that only IE has ever supported activeX. The way forward is to use Java to embed applets in your web pages.

That would be a solution... I'll see if I can work it out. Any more ideas would be appreciated too. Thanks, Dirso

BTW: Doesn't .net have anything close to applets?

Yeah, you can create .NET dlls and consume in a web page. But, only in IE, I believe.
