Hello everyone, I have a question for you: I have built a web
application, until now, used it only with internet explorer. I'm now
want to make it usable in google chrome as well, but there is one
thing I can't work out yet: In my javascript code, I've used an
ActiveX object in order to fetch the current logged in windows user.
As I know, ActiveX will not work on google chrome, but my question is
if there is an alternative way in order to fetch the current user in
google chrome.
Thanks in advanced,
Tal Tchernihovski,

This is not the appropriate group for that.
I would say chromium-discuss, but I am not sure as well.
To answer your question, if you really must have this information, you can build an NPAPI plugin (C++, native code, which can basically do anything), make your users download and install it (or pack it within an extension and put it in the Chrome Web Store, or serve it from your website in a not so convenient way) and use it to get this information.
