ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP')

[Brian McPheeters]

Is there anyway to get ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP') to work with
Mac IE 5.1 on the client side? I need to get a text response from the
server with javascript so I can parse it. This seems to work fine on
NS6+ and Safarii.

ActiveXObject('anything') works in NS6+ and Safari?

You could try new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") as talked about in
<URL: http://jibbering.com/2002/4/httprequest.html >. It even includes a
try catch statement to test for each.

If that fails, look into the java applet approach that is explained here:
