Re: What is better than ActiveX

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Actually it can but it has to be allowed by the user when the Java applet
runs (idem for .NET based controls or ActiveX). For a browser plugin this is
also implicitely done (by installing the plug in).

Basically whatever solution you choose and depending which level of control
you need on the client machine, the user will have to consent with giving
access under one form (question about giving trust to a signed applet file)
or another (by running a plug in setup).

Try :
http://www.developer.com/java/data/article.php/3303561 for the Java applet
part. Depending on what exactly you are doing this might be not necessary
(for example an applet/.NET control could store data in a private zone known
as "isolated storage" in which case the user doesn't need to give its
consent as the applet can't access elsewhere and also the size of this
storage location is limited).

java applets run in a sandbox and can not access client resources. if you
want to run unmanaged code, you need to write active/x for IE and a
browser plugin (same code for firefox, safari, opera and netscape).

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
