JavaScript Programmer’s Reference OBJECT.classid (Property) The URL that locates the registered ActiveX control within the local file system when MSIE is used on the Windows platform. Availability: JScript 3.0 Internet Explorer 4.0 Property/method value type: String primitive JavaScript syntax: IE myOBJECT.classid This is a special URL value used to locate ActiveX objects within the file system of the PC running the client browser. This is likely only available in Windows versions of the MSIE browser because that is the only platform that supports ActiveX objects. It is not supported on the Macintosh version of MSIE because ActiveX objects aren’t available there. This is because they are compiled x86 microcode and therefore cannot run in a non-Intel environment (unless the x86 CPU is being emulated). The ActiveX control needs to have been registered and installed already. It is possible to construct an tag that conveys sufficient information to locate and install a missing ActiveX control but this can be a quite involved process. See also: clsid: URL, URL Property attributes: ReadOnly. OBJECT.code (Property) The name of a Java applet to be used with the tag. Availability: DOM level 1 JavaScript 1.5 JScript 3.0 Internet Explorer 4.0 Netscape 6.0 Property/method value type: String primitive JavaScript syntax: -myOBJECT.code This specifies the main code class to be loaded when the object is instantiated. This value is added to the codebase property to form a fully qualified URL. There is conflicting information in the reference sources regarding the read/write ability of this property. Some suggest it is ReadOnlyand others suggest you can assign a value to it. It may be that you can assign a value to it without the JavaScript interpreter complaining but that any value you assign is ignored. 1596
