Buttons on DHTML Application not working

[Peter Scholtz]

I made a VB DHTML Application. It works fine on my development PC (VS6, Win 98, IE5) but on the test PC the buttons don't work. Visually it looks like it clicks but the events aren't fired!

Any ideas?

[Lothar Haensler]

a DHTML app is a COM object (an ActivexDLL).
Thus, you need to create an Internet Package using the PDWizard (in VB6). Did you do that?
and, did you reference your CAB File in the codebase attribute of your object tag?

IE needs the CAB file to download it and install the ActiveXDLL on the client's machine.

Yes, I did use the Package & Deployment Wizard with the Internet Package option. It created a index.htm which has the CAB file referenced. The download works when you connect. The DHTML page displays fine but the buttons don't work. They appear to click but the events aren't fired!

I'm guessing there's missing .DLL's ... ?

I have a question about DHTML and I am having hardtime finding a solution to it. All I am trying is to use DHTML Edit Control to display HTML file on my dialog box this is what I am doing


CDHTMLEdit testDHTML;
DWORD dwStyle = WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD;
CRect rect;
GetClientRect(&rect);

testDHTML.Create(NULL, dwStyle,rect, this, IDR_DHTMLSTRING);

COleVariant j = COleVariant("");
COleVariant m = COleVariant("d:\\test4\\Samples.htm");
// testDHTML.SetDocumentHTML("d:\\test4\\Samples.htm");

testDHTML.LoadDocument(m,NULL);

Hi Lothar,

I don't know much about DHTML developing... what do you mean by "reference your CAB File in the codebase attribute of your object tag"? I have the same problem as Peter Scholtz.

Please help...
