The ActiveX control plugin doesn't work on anything but Windows. Potentially it might be possible to knock something together using Wine that hosted the plugin and the control inside it that made it think it was running in Win32 but it's unlikely you'd be able to script it the control and there might be other limitations.Sony Antony wrote:Hi: I tried google search and www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/faq.htm ( The mozilla activeX plugin page ) to get an answer. So I m trying my luck here. Please direct me to the proper newsgroup if this is not the right place.We are thinking of using webXtender - a web based application server for our project. But it uses ASP ( Active Server Page ) and activeX controls. We don t want our browsers to be limited to IE. ( Some people use Linux for their desktop ). I heard mozilla has a plugin for activeX. Is this ( the above site is teh web page for it ) or any other plugins available for UNIX/Linux platforms. Or is the very idea of activeX on UNIX/Linux browsers absurd.
The Crossover plugin does something similar to this already to allow various Win32 NPAPI plugins to run on Linux, so the idea is not completely without merit.

Perhaps my plugin would run inside the crossover plugin?
Personally, I would consider using a product that doesn't *require* ActiveX controls. Any that do are not likely to be suitable for heterogenous browsing anyway.
