Subject: Javascript (activeX controls) in Notes client
Feedback Type: Problem
Product Area: Designer Client
Technical Area: Application development
Platform: Windows XP client
Release: 8.0.2
Reproducible: -Reproducibility-

Hello. I'm looking at a top-heavy javascript database built for an earlier version of IE. I'm looking into moving it back to a Notes client because they seem to be stuck in IE 6 due to code compatibility issues. The database revolves around integration between Domino records and MS word files. I really want to try to port as much of the existing javascript into the notes client but i am having trouble because of the existing dependency on ActiveX;

try {
gWordApp=Getobject("","Word.Application");
} catch (e) {
gWordApp=new ActiveXObject(Word.Application);
}


When running in notes client, the above code always goes to the catch and obviously i get "ActiveXObject can't be found". Does anybody know of any way around this, or some way to make Lotus notes use ActiveX? This thing has millions of javascript libraries and I'm praying I don't want to have to rewrite it all in lotusscript. thank you very much for reading.
