I think in my case, the COM component would be a C# compiled class
that has methods to retrieve data updates from the data source. What
do I need to put in my html doc? By the way, I have no COM
experience AT ALL. If you have an example you could send me, that
would be great.
---I tried this through the Interop samples - but the approach is not good
for me - since IE expects the # Dll on the web server and all that. I'll
see what I can send to you. But, basically this is the same as any Interop
samples that you have.

I am already doing this.

Would SendEvent be the name of the method in my C# class? What about
parameters?
Yes - but again - this is Interop - so same rules apply i.e. IE can access
the methods off a C# interface only.

I may be missing something here, but I thought that the COM component
would reside on the web server and then would be called by the web
client via Javascript code. I definitely don't want or need to embed
a C# component into my client app. I will be processing the svg doc
by using Javascript.
Also, I only want to do this if it will be supported by most browsers
and not just IE. Do you know if this is the case? If the component
is on the server, I didn't that that would matter.

If you need to do all you processing on the client - then it sounds like
you just need to parse some data updates through JS and update your SVG
document with that. So, in that case you just need a normal C# or other web
application that pulls in the required data. Your HTML based JS can process
this data and pass it in to SVG for update or further SVG JS processing I
guess. There are many examples of this around.
What I mentioned above is for a situation where all processing happens on
the server and no significant JS is used at all. The C# component support i
know exists for IE. You wuld have to see what Firefox and all support. I
think they'll all support ActiveX/COM components since I believe that is
part of the JS spec.
Thanks for your help.
