ActiveX controls (formerly known as OLE controls) are reusable components, somewhat like miniature applications, that can act like browser plugins. They run in Internet Explorer with Windows, but they don't run on the Macintosh or in Netscape Navigator. The ActiveX object in Dreamweaver lets you supply attributes and parameters for an ActiveX control in your visitor's browser.
Dreamweaver uses the object tag to mark the place on the page where the ActiveX control will appear, and to provide parameters for the ActiveX control.
To insert ActiveX control content:
| 1 | In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want to insert the content and do one of the following: |
 |
Click the ActiveX button in the Objects panel. |
|
Choose Insert > Media > ActiveX. |
|
Drag and drop the ActiveX icon. |
| An icon marks where the ActiveX control will appear on the page in Internet Explorer. | |
 |
For information on the available properties, see Setting ActiveX properties.
