Here is why I Active X is Javascript. I guess I have the wrong definition.
"About Web scripts
A Web script is a type of computer code that can be used to make your Web page dynamic. For example, a Web script could be used to include a "number of visitors" counter that increments each time someone visits your Web page. Or a Web script could be used to include a countdown to a special event: "only x more days", where x decreases by 1 every day. Usually Web scripts are run by a Web browser when a Web page is opened, typically to display information produced by the script. Creating Web scripts is an advanced Office feature that requires programming knowledge. You can add Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) (Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript): A subset of the Microsoft Visual Basic programming system. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or later, along with the other Web browsers, can read VBScript programs that are embedded in HTML pages.) or JavaScript (JavaScript: A cross-platform, World Wide Web scripting language. JavaScript code is inserted directly into an HTML page. JavaScript makes it possible to build Java programs. The script anchor represents a script written in JavaScript.) to your page in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and FrontPage.
Scripting is useful for custom Web-based solutions development. It provides a full object model for the Web browser and the objects on the current page. This makes it easy to write code that manipulates elements on the page without you knowing the details of the HTML (HTML: The standard markup language used for documents on the World Wide Web. HTML uses tags to indicate how Web browsers should display page elements such as text and graphics and how to respond to user actions.) or how the objects are implemented. You can also create script code that is specifically designed to handle events that occur on objects (such as ActiveX controls (ActiveX control: A control such as a check box or button that offers options to users or runs macros or scripts that automate a task. You can write macros for the control in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications or scripts in Microsoft Script Editor.)) on your page.
You view and edit the HTML code, along with any script code for your Web page, using the Microsoft Script Editor (Microsoft Script Editor: Used to add text, edit HTML tags, and edit any Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) code in a data access page. You can also view your page in the Script Editor as it would appear in a Web browser.). In the Script Editor, you can add text, edit HTML tags, and edit any Web script code. You can also view your Web page as it would appear in a Web browser and edit it in this view. For detailed information about creating scripts, see Microsoft Script Editor Help."
I'm beginning to think you all must be talking about different things than what I'm using for the Internet. I thought you had said in your last post to me that the files from the sites are being downloaded, copied. I didn't think it was copying anything unless I hit the copy or download command first. I didn't think that by just going to a website that I'm copying anything by just going to the websites. I thought I understood what copying something means. For example, tv shows, movies, etc.. we copy/record them by hitting record/copy. But you have to actually hit the copy button first. Unless of course you have it programmed in to automatically start recording at a certain time.
Wait a minute, are you talking about this- hang on, here is something.
