active x used in a web site

[moussathiandoum]

Is it possible to do a call of a active x when
the surfer do a submit ( by clicking on a OK button)?
In general the active x is viewed at the first
time when the web site is loaded

First off I would avoid using ActiveX on a web site!!! ActiveX is only supported in IE for Win9X/NT. So that means that every one using Netscape (still a little more than 50%), any other brower, or even IE for Mac or UNIX will not be able to use the ActiveX functionality. Not only that but IE3's ActiveX support is poor and only allows a subset of the functionality of IE4+. So this means right off the bat you've cut out about 80% of your visitors. If your trying to do some sort of e-mail form then use a server side solution (even a basic mailto: has more support the ActiveX), if your trying to do information validation then use JavaScript, and if you realy need to do something that requires full application type power in the browser look use Java (at least there is a plug-in in that works in most browsers).

P.S. If you need help with JavaScript just ask over at http://www.htmlhelp.com/wwwboard/ and I'll hook you up.

P.S.S To answer your question. I think this can be done using LiveConnect, but it is only supported by IE4+ so IE3 is out for sure.
