I thought I'd post this and see what you guys think (go easy on me :)). Anyway, my teacher gave the class a project to see if we could make a hangman game with an ActiveX object's draw methods and some good ole' DHTML. I've always wondered why javascript doesn't have any draw methods or graphics objects like Java has.
I suppose SVG will take the place of activeX and Flash... hopefully. Once we had the right object id it was a piece of cake (I found it by the way). Anyway, here's my program. I would've put the code in this post but I have a few includes and graphics that go with it. Best viewed in 1024 x 768 resolution, and IE only (of course).
I am learning Javascript from this book I got, and I am trying to do one of the "challenges" in the Hangman example, and that is to add on more 8 letter words to it and have it select by random. I am assuming that it's asking me to do this with arrays, but I have no idea how to implement that on this while having it select randomly.
I'm trying to create a simple hangman script, i want to enter a letter in the guess box and have it detect whether its in the secret word or not and print out the result to the another text input eg:
In this game i have the letters as images and they are listed at the top in two rows.
This is the code
As this is not really the best way to do it, I was wondering if i could set the letter squares to be objects of a Button class. I just don't know how to do it.
When I play the hangman game, the "You Lose" message is never displayed! You always win! There is no limit to incorrect guesses! The code below needs to be fixed somewhere, but I can't work out where.
Im supposed to write an activeX dll that will be called by javascript (with the OBJECT TAG) and was wondering if its supposed to have any special features or its a regular activeX dll.
Also I would like to know if it matters if its written in C++ or VB, and if someone has sample C++ code that does this i will be grateful to see!
I have JavaScript code, that exports a HTML table to MS Excel.
This works fine on my development (local) server, however, it fails to work on my 'live' IIS server. Once I click on the Export link, I confirm the "Export to Microsoft Excel?" message, then nothing happens. I am not sure if MS Excel needs to be installed on the server or not?code...
I am currently detecting for Shockwave within IE by doing the following:
var isInstalled = false; if (window.ActiveXObject) { var control = null; try { control = new ActiveXObject('SWCtl.SWCtl'); } catch (e) {
[Code]...
This works as expected and if it fails to detect Shockwave I tell the user to install Shockwave.The problem comes when AcitveX is disabled as it still returns the same message that it's not installed. I would prefer to be able to include an extra step to detect if ActiveX is disabled, in which case I can tell the user to enable it rather than giving them false advice. My only idea would be to detect for an ActiveX Object that every IE user should have installed.

I have a windows media file that I want to play on a webpage but the stupid activex content blocker keeps on poping up. I have heard that there is a way of getting around this or to preload the content. Does anyone know how to do this?
I built a form that utilizes arrays for storing data, prototype objects stored in arrays, and DOM using getElementByID and getElementByName. Now, in XP SP2 with the security center turned on, I get alerted by IE6/7 that there is an ActiveX script on the page and it asks to be allowed.
I don't want users IE to see this ActiveX warning. First, the users going to be using this form are not exactly tech savvy enough to know to allow it. Second, I had no idea JavaScript was related to ActiveX--which begs the question, what sort of things cause JavaScript to be flagged as ActiveX?
i could create it successfully, but i can't manipulate it
<html> <body> <object height="50% width="50%" classid="clsid:XXXX....." id = obj> <script language= javascript> obj.gridVisible= true //the method call here don't take effect </script> </body> </html>
here is the interface i implemented in my control interface IControlInterface : IDispatch { [id(..), propput] HRESULT gridVisible ([in] VARIANT_BOOL bVal); }
I know this question has been asked a million times but I still can't get an event from an embedded ActiveX Exe to be caught in javascript. I am able to access all the properties and methods of the ActiveX Exe, I just can't seem to catch the event.
The event handler never fires. I debugged the ActiveX Exe and verified that the event is indeed being raised. I am able to catch the event in a VB6 test container project as well. Any ideas?
Some browser like Firefox doens't support ActiveX by default, but can do it with plugin support. Take Firefox for example, it has a whitelist (activex.js) of allowed ActiveX. So, "new ActiveXObject" may not be a good idea. The ActiveX control for test is possibly not in the whitelist.
<script language="javascript1.2"> fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network"); </script>
Everything working fine, but sometimes some admin change default IE options and during loading the page on screen i can see something like that "Can I run the activex and bla bla bla". This message for my user equal error and I get many phones, Can I catch insufficient permision, or that message and hide it?
After upgrading to jQuery 1.3.2 users of our application will be prompted with a confirm dialog: "Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?" The users have to use IE6 (yes I know - but this is a very restrictive and old fashioned corporate environment and I have no influence on the browser configuration). Replacing the content of jquery-1.3.2.js with the content of jquery-1.2.6.js immediately fixes the problem. But we would like to avoid that if possible. Is there any known solution to this?
I have a web page which contains a legacy ActiveX control (I know...) and am having a problem with the ClueTip plugin. Whenever a tooltip is displayed which should obscure the ActiveX it instead is drawn behind the ActiveX control. I have tried setting the value of cluezIndex to 1000, and also tried adding "<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /

Looks really nice, but when you load the page on IE, it keeps displaying theactive-x warning, requesting permission to allow. My concern is that a lot of people dont understand this message. Automatically think there is something dangerous about the site, and deter them from visting. And they will not be able to navigate round the site effectively without the drop down menu!I'd imagine there has to be a way, possibly with a certain metatag maybe?
Reason being, GMail is designed using javascript. How come IE allows their javascripts to work, but no one elses?!Must be a way.And also, I use a .js file to keep the site resized and well positioned, regardless of browser. This script gets by no worries at all. Could it be because it is an external javascript, and not linked in within the html itself?And with other broswers, ie. Netscape, Firefox etc. Do any of them have issues with the Javascript / active-x warning?
I have an html file I've built with embedded Javascript (using ActiveX) that successfully reads a file on my local hard drive when I run the html file through my web browser (IE) locally. However, when I copy the html page up to a webserver and access it through the internet, it doesn't appear to be reading the local file. I'm assuming this can't be done because of security reasons? Am I correct in that? Is there any way using Javascript/ ActiveX that you can get a webpage on the internet to access a file on the visitor's local drive?
I facinga strange problem. I have developed a active-X control to play video on the top of VLC player in C# It contains a windows panel in which video is displayed Its is placed in a DIV tag , like this :
I am trying to call a ActiveX object from JSP using the ActiveXObject method in javascript. I have a dll filed named Patchgenerator.dll which is registered and assigned a prog id "Patchgenerator.PatchGen.1" which is being passed as an argument to the ActiveXObject method. Below is the code i am trying to execute..
[Code]...
When i write the above code and save it as an html file it works fine..the activex object is created and the methods are called , but when i copy the same code to a file and save it as jsp file under webapps folder under tomcat it doesnt work and reports a javascript error with the error being: Automation server cant create the object at line : var SSOObj = new ActiveXObject("Patchgenerator.PatchGen.1");
