Few days back I posted this question.

Can anyone help me on this question.

var myObj = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
var myObj = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");

If my development environment is ASP.Net/VB.Net/.NetFramework 1.1/IE 5+
Which of the above statement I should use?
Thanks,
Jonathan Smith
 
Neither. ActiveX controls are client-side.

I am talking about client side script(java script) only.
So, which one I should use?

You should use an <OBJECT> tag in the HTML that is sent to the client.

Click to expand...

If you want to code to 1997 standards,
use "Microsoft.XMLHTTP"

If you want to code to Microsoft XML 3.0 standards,
use "Msxml2.XMLHTTP"

If you want to code to Microsoft XML 4.0 standards,
use "MSXML2.DOMDocument.4.0"

If you want to code to Microsoft XML 5.0 standards,
use "Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"

Really great reply.
Since this will be clint side code, I have to say all my clients will be
using atleast IE5+.
So the next question will be IE5+ confirms to which of the following
versions?
1997 standards or Microsoft XML X.0 standards.
Thanks a lot for all the experts involved in this discussion.
Jonathan.
 
Thanks a lot.
Now I know at what time I should post the question to get good response.
Earlier posts did not get much response.

Hello Kevin,

Why would he use <OBJECT> to create an ActiveX object in javascript?

Jonathan,

The answer is to use MSXML2.XMLHTTP.
 
Neither. You should use an <OBJECT> tag in the HTML that is sent to the
client.

You don't create the object with JavaScript. You create the object with an
<OBJECT> tag. You manipulate the object with JavaScript.

Hi, Matt.

Kevin meant this type of object creation:

<object runat="server" progid="msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0" id="xObj"> </object>

Which may be slightly preferrable to :

JavaScript
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");

VBScript
Dim xml
Set xml = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0")

Those types of object creation replace the legacy :

var source = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument");
or
var xml = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.2.6");.
