Turn ActiveXObject into HTML <OBJECT>

[pcawdron]

Does anyone know how I can use the...

var X = new ActiveXObject("ProgID&quot

...and then make X a real object within my HTML page? So I can change it's size, z-index, etc?

The ActiveXObject I'm using does not have z-index, if I set it as an <OBJECT> I have access to z-index, but not if I create it on the file in javascript.

Thanks,

PS. Please reply to peter_cawdron@hotmail.com (I'm on holiday

hi pcawdron,

you might be able to combine both by using document.write() and inserting any variables necessary. this would have to be done during page load, not by calling a function after loading since write() replaces the document's contents.

just insert this in the page where you want the object to appear:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
parName = &quot;something&quot;;
parVal = &quot;whatever&quot;;
document.write('<OBJECT>');
document.write('<PARAM name=&quot;'+parName+ '&quot; value=&quot;'+parValue+'&quot;>');
</script>

hope this helps... =========================================================
