Send Fax on client side using JavaScript

[jcvoon]

Hi:

It is possible to send a downloaded pdf file to fax printer using
javascript ?

something like this, but i can't make the following code work.

function FaxDocument()
{
var faxServer = new ActiveXObject("FAXCOMLIB.FaxServer");
var faxDoc = fs.CreateDocument("d:\\test.pdf");

faxServer.Connect("LocalFaxServer");
faxDoc.FaxNumber="18008737822";
faxDoc.Filename="d:\\test.pdf";
faxDoc.Send();
faxServer.Disconnect();

alert("Done");
}

If not possible is there other way to achieve this ?

Please Help

Have you done something regarding security settings ? By default you can't
create an object instance that would allows access to local resources.

Depending on how easy it would to deploy this change on the targeted client
computers, another option could be to have the user uploading the file to
the server and fax from the server ?

Hi Patrice:

Thanks for the reply.

I'm able to fax from the server, but my boss request to do it on client
side.
Regarding the security setting, i don't know what to set, is it posible
to mark the COM object as safe to execute on javascript / vbscript ?
