can we stop using activex?
Firefox doesn't use activex but we can still see flash, shockwave, movie
files etc etc ... so ..
can we stop using activex all together?? ..as it is a pain in the neck ..
it's nearly always blocked (sensibly enough) by sys admins ...

for example I have this on a page to embed a java applet:

<object
classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-windows-i586.cab#Version=1,4,0,0" height="581" width="581"> <param name="CODE" value="B_applet.class"> <param name="type" value="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4"> <param name="scriptable" value="false"> <comment> </comment><embed type="application/x-java-applet;version=1.4" code="B_applet.class" scriptable="false" pluginspage="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/index.html#download" height="581" width="581"> </object>
