Hi,
I was wondering if the EO.Web controls utilize any form of ActiveX or related control? In our test environment, when we disable the IE settings "Run ActiveX controls and plugins" and "Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting" our application runs into some errors, but when both of those settings are enabled, the application works properly. Thanks for the info!

Hi,
No. We do not use any ActiveX except for the built-in HttpRequest object, which is needed for any AJAX related features, such as CallbackPanel, populate on demand, etc. This is the same object as any other AJAX solution uses, such as ASP.NET AJAX.
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. So we'll need to have this settings enabled in order to use any form of AJAX solution? We are dealing with locked-down computers at the client-level and one or both of these settings might be disabled.

I believe that is true for IE 6, but not necessary for IE 7. All AJAX solution relies on HttpRequest object, which in IE 6 is not an intrinsic JavaScript object, but an ActiveX object that is safe for script. As a test, you can try to run Microsoft’s ASP.NET AJAX live samples with that option disabled on IE 6. You should run into script error.
Since AJAX has become so popular so IE 7 attempts to address this. So IE 7 appears to allow you create this object regardless your settings. But with so many users out there still using IE 6, this can still be an issue.
