ActiveXObject is not defined

[Erik Holleboom]

Hi,

I try to instantiate an active X object like Word....

But I seem to get stuck on ActiveXObject is not defined?

I cannot find out what to do to make this possible. I see many examples doing it, but what needs to be enabled(option or simething alike) or present (tool)?

After changing  from javascript script to jscript it worked.

Apparently there is some security difference

Its a syntax difference, not a security difference. There another syntax you need to use for JavaScript. Check the examples in the EAScriptLib MDG for examples in all three languages.

Instead of this (JScript):

Code: [Select]

var xmlDOM = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0");
try this (JavaScript) instead:

Code: [Select]

var xmlDOM = new COMObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0");
That should work.
