I've got simple html on Login.aspx with an ActiveX object:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head><title></title>
<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript">
function getUserInfo()
{
var userInfo = MyActiveX.GetInfo();
form1.info.value = userInfo;
form1.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:getUserInfo()">
<object id="MyActiveX" name="MyActiveX" codebase="MyActiveX.cab" classid="CLSID:C63E6630-047E-4C31-H457-425C8412JAI25"></object>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="Login.aspx">
<input type="hidden" id="info" name="info" value="" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The code works perfectly fine on my machine (edit: hosted and run), it does't work on the other: there is an error "Object doesn't support this property or method" in the first line of javascript function. The cab file is in the same folder as the page file. I don't know javascript at all and have no idea why is the problem occuring. Googling didn't help. Do you ave any idea?
Edit: on both machines IE was used and activex was enabled.
Edit2: I also added if (document.MyActiveX) at the beggining of the function and I still get error in the same line of code - I mean it looks like document.MyActiveX is true but calling the method still fails

I think the onload event is making the function to run even before the ActiveX object is loaded. You may try the following instead:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript">
function getUserInfo(){
if(document.MyActiveX){
var userInfo = MyActiveX.GetInfo();
form1.info.value = userInfo;
form1.submit();
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<object id="MyActiveX" name="MyActiveX" codebase="MyActiveX.cab" classid="CLSID:C63E6630-047E-4C31-H457-425C8412JAI25"></object>
<script for="window" event="onload" language="JavaScript">
window.setTimeout("getUserInfo()", 500);
</script>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="Login.aspx">
<input type="hidden" id="info" name="info" value="" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now the getUserInfo() function will start to run 500 milliseconds after the page is loaded. This must give some time for the ActiveX object to be loaded.
