What is ActiveX?
ActiveX is a technology developed by the Microsoft Corporation for distributing software over the Internet. Like Java Applets, an ActiveX "control" can be embedded in a Web page, where it typically appears as a smart interactive graphic. A number of ActiveX controls are available for the Microsoft Internet Explorer (the only browser to support them so far), including a scrolling marquee, a background sound generator, and an ActiveX control that executes Java applets. Unlike Java, which is a platform-independent programming language, ActiveX controls are distributed as executable binaries, and must be separately compiled for each target machine and operating system
