why does IE allow it to run? Quote
ActiveX controls run as native code once loaded. There is no "Cop" between the code that calls a Windows function that does bad things to your machine, and the actual Windows function that does bad things to your machine. With Java, JavaScript or Flash, there is. You don't call Windows functions directly. You ask the runtime....the Sandbox....if it is OK. The runtime decides based on what you are trying to do, how it came about that you are doing it (did the user click a button, or are you just doing this on your own). So you can be restricted...Um...No, you can't upload that file to the server...because the user didn't click a button that says it's OK to upload a file.
ActiveX has no such "Cop". And that....is a double edged sword if ever there was one Quote
sorry can you or some one explain this better .
why does IE allow it to run and not block it?
