mike_g  Are those supposed to be advantages?ActiveX is a bloody mess. IMO, browser apps should not have permission to write to files. Also, ActiveX is the only thing I can think of that makes websites platform and browser dependant. Imagine what it would be like if Mozilla, Mac, Google and whoever makes Opera all came out with their own versions that did not work with other browsers.  What if it's a small business webpage built to be essentially an application for internal use at a company? That's what I was getting at when I said FF isn't the do-all replacement. Some simple but powerful pages I've built are impossible to do in FF. mike_g Well I would because of how quick and easy it is to do scripting with Windows, something you cannot do from FF. I'll be happier when Windows switches to PowerShell for scripting, but although VBScript might be a terrible language not everything is about languages.
As for VB script... I would not miss it. |

IIRC, Mozilla Prism and Google Gears (might have got the names wrong, but something from those two companies) aim to do the same thing as VBScript and ActiveX (or at least desktop apps) with Firefox, & Javascript, which could be interesting. -=-=- blog | work | code | more code |
