ActiveX Control for Internet Explorer
The ActiveX Control works only within the Internet Explorer 4.01 and later
browser for Windows. It exposes an API that is accessible from VBScript,
JScript (Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript), and Java. The ActiveX
Control API is exposed through ActiveX/COM/Automation technology. If
you develop an application only for the ActiveX Control version of the
Viewer, users can access that application with Internet Explorer only; if
someone tries to view your application with Netscape, it will fail. You can
also write stand-alone applications for the ActiveX Control with Visual Basic
or C++. In this case, no browser is required, as your stand-alone application
takes the place of a browser.
Netscape Plug-In
The Plug-In version of the Viewer works within Netscape Navigator 4.5 and
later for Windows. It exposes an API that is accessible from JavaScript and
Java. The Plug-In Viewer API objects are exposed via Netscape LiveConnect
technology.
If you develop an application only for the Plug-In version of the Viewer, users
can access that application with Netscape only; if someone tries to view your
application with Internet Explorer, it will fail.
