ActiveXObject in Firefox or Chrome (not IE!)


I am trying to create an ActiveXObject (to use FileSystemObject) but it's only supported in IE.

Is there a way I can make it work in Chrome or Firefox? I need to read all the files in a specific given folder, and list those.

Well, is there another way to do it?


Solution

  • ActiveX is only supported by IE - the other browsers use a plugin architecture called NPAPI. However, there's a cross-browser plugin framework called Firebreath that you might find useful.
