Ajax support on IE/Mac

[Bob]

Hi All:
I'm trying to build an Ajax component that needs to support IE/Mac.
Does anybody know if it supports XMLHTTP? It appears to have
ActiveXObject, but I can't seem to get it to instantiate the XMLHTTP
object.

ActiveX mechanics is supported only on IE for Windows.

Also please note that IE Mac support is officially discontinued long
ago:

You may download free copy of Camino 1.0 <http://www.caminobrowser.org>
which is Firefox 1.5 ported as native Mac OS application.

You also may suggest your customers to pay for Mac OS upgrade to get a
functional copy of Safari <http://www.apple.com/support/safari/>

No, Netscape on Windows and other UAs with the ActiveX Plugin support
it too. But only for the Windows Media Player ActiveX/COM object.

Could you please take something against this ongoing hiccup of yours?

The OP's question was about *IE/Mac* support, read it again please: not
about "browsers for Mac". IE for Mac - as opposed to IE for Windows -
doesn't have ActiveX support, including but not limited by
IXMLHTTPRequest.

The first one is my original post in this thread. The second one "Not
found" so I have no idea what was it.
You may want to check your newsreader settings. Maybe too many
kill-files and score counters made it dizzy?

ACK. However, your general statement was false and required rectification.

The second URI is a reference to the posting I was replying to. It was
there (must have been), and it is still there (see below). The first
URI refers to a duplicate of the posting the second one refers to; one
that I did not reply to.

You may want to check your newsreader settings.

My newsreader is working just fine. It would appear that the Google Groups
Web interface you are using is even more buggy than I expected, not
generating Cancel control messages for its peers when articles are deleted
there. So they are still visible on NNTP servers. However, since this is
not the first time that you produced a duplicate posting, it would also
appear that you are not capable of using Google Groups' Web interface
properly.

Maybe too many kill-files and score counters made it dizzy?

Certainly not.
