What is Active X !! why i am getting active x error !

ActiveX is a technology developed by Microsoft. With an ActiveX-enabled browser (ie Internet Explorer only) ActiveX controls can be downloaded as part of a Web document to add functionality to the browser (similar to Java applets). In particular ActiveX enables seamless viewing of Windows files of all types, eg spreadsheets, and in combination with other technologies such as Java and scripting languages, makes possible the development of complex Web applications.

I think, Active X controls usually made as attachments for the program, which helps program in some extra activities. Active X are user made, as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET offers you inbuilt controls but if you have to make your own self control for all properties you need in yours web page, then you make a user defined control, and it is known as the Active X object. And if the program can't access that Active X object for proper execution then it gives error. Thanks, Have a nice day. bye.

Mnay times I have seen ActiveX is used to convert fonts from another language to English. So if a website has not done it correctly you may get error when you are browsing it.
