ActiveX is where alot of the fun from adware came. Most Windows users have problems with it also to be honest. :) Fortunately it appears to be used less and less on legitimate sites, if at all any more. Now, what about asp.net pages (.aspx)? I have a heck of time getting these. I go to school online and my web based email is .net based and both look pretyt funky. Sometmes .net pages are unusable, such as my own site which is based off of a .net application. I know .net is Windows specific, but is there a good Mac browser that supports .net?

From http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q258540 : 3.4 Viewing Web Pages That Contain ActiveX Controls ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------- Some Web pages may contain ActiveX controls that have been designed specifically for Windows-based computers and are therefore not supported by the Macintosh. If you are unable to view a Web page that contains such a control, try turning off ActiveX content in Internet Explorer to view the page. To turn off ActiveX content: 1. On the Edit menu, click Preferences. 2. Under Web Browser, click Web Content. 3. In the Active Content area, clear the Enable ActiveX check box. 4. Click OK. 5. To display the page with ActiveX content turned off, click Refresh. [end quote] ActiveX was developed as a competitor to Java, but these days Windows users are frequently advised to switch it off for security reasons.
