Synopsis

This text provides a reference to creating "active content", Microsoft's term for the combination of Dynamic HTML (DHTML), Javascript and VBScript HTML Scripting (ActiveX Scripting), ActiveX Controls, and Active Channels (Webcasting). Unlike previous web browsers, Internet Explorer 4.0 is part of the Windows desktop (as an option in Windows 95, and as part of the operating system in Windows 98). Thus, every Windows user is a potential user of ActiveX Scripting. This book is aimed at all levels of scripting developers, from casual desktop users to experienced web page authors to top-of-the-line web masters. The book includes: coverage of installing and using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0

; detailed explanations of using Microsoft FrontPad; a guide to the Dynamic Scripting Object Model, which drives ActiveX Scripting; complex information on both VBScript and JScript (JavaScript); working examples of using the FrontPad stanadard ActiveX Controls with ActiveX scripts (full source code on the CD); a reference for Active Channel creation with working CDF example code; Total Dynamic HTML (DHTML) reference listings with working examples using ActiveX Scripting; Internet multimedia examples with DirectAnimation and DirectShow displays user controlled by ActiveX Scripts; and Microsoft Agent technology examples with Genie, Merlin, and Robby. The pack includes a CD, containing full source code, demonstration projects, and Microsoft reference files.
