Foil 3 What is ActiveX?

From Introduction to ActiveX, with VBScript CPS616 -- Information Track of CPS -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken
ActiveX has similar functionality to JavaScript and Java in adding dynamic elements to web pages.
ActiveX is an extension of the OCX controls that are used to interface many Microsoft applications to each other and to the windowing system.
The controls are programmed in VBScript, which is a subset of Visual Basic, and is familiar to most Microsoft application programmers.
