[D.Hadi]

the following script work fine in IE but in ff & chrome
objNBioBSP.Device & objNBioBSP.Extraction is always 'undefined'

var objNBioBSP = document.getElementById("nbiobsp");
var objDevice = objNBioBSP.Device;
var objExtraction = objNBioBSP.Extraction;

i've tried using objNBioBSP.Device() but got error "objNBioBSP.Device
() is not a function"

below is the type definition from oleview

Hi,

First of all, did you use the exe installer or the XPI? In order for it work in Chrome, you need to use the exe installer and not the XPI.

Second, you did not include the HTML you use to create the ActiveX so I can't be sure, but my bet is that you did not create a proper object tag. This plugin does not work with standard IE-compatible object tags. You need to write it slightly differently for it to work. Please read the documentation and go through other threads in this group.

Leeor.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I used the exe, flash activex shown in
the documentation works and i've browsed through all the previous
threads but to no avail. Anyhow here the html object tag that i used

<OBJECT id="nbiobsp" type="application/x-itst-activex"
classid="CLSID:F66B9251-67CA-4d78-90A3-28C2BFAE89BF"
height=0 width=0 VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>

You did not write the CLSID properly. You should not put the 'CLSID:' text, and the UUID needs to be surrounded with {}.

Please read the docs, this is all written there.

Yeah sorry about that thought that clsid and classid were the same
thing. My bad.

Whilst trying i found out that you cant mix clsid and classid
together, I was mixing them both hoping for crossbrowser
implementation. is this intentional?

this works:

<OBJECT id="nbiobsp" type="application/x-itst-activex"

clsid="{F66B9251-67CA-4d78-90A3-28C2BFAE89BF}"
height=0 width=0>

this doesnt:

<OBJECT id="nbiobsp" type="application/x-itst-activex"

clsid="{F66B9251-67CA-4d78-90A3-28C2BFAE89BF}"

classid="CLSID:F66B9251-67CA-4d78-90A3-28C2BFAE89BF"
height=0 width=0>

Thanks

thanks

Again, PLEASE read the docs.

This is all explained in there, together with the reason for not implementing a cross browser solution.
