Active x support in IE11

We are working on Active x for a video stream when we install the active x on windows 7 IE 8,9,10 working fine but IE 11 the pop for download is not coming please help regarding the same

Solution

  • Your issue isn't in the ActiveX as you suspected, but in your detection of Internet Explorer. Your code, from the comments, is:

    var checkIE=function() {
    var client = window.navigator.appName;
    if(client == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") { return 1; }
    return 0;
};

    However, IE11 doesn't return Microsoft Internet Explorer; according to MSDN it returns Netscape. Replace your IE detection with one of the answers from How to detect IE11? instead and you should find your issue solved.
