ActiveX vs Applet vs jScript vs vbScript

[MichaelBartolotta]

Any opinions of the pros/cons of the above approaches for performance and security?

I am developing a large website and have a lot of reusable code. Currently I have the reused code in jScript and vbScript in text files and include it with a scr= tag.

I am considering moving the logic to either an applet (I'm familiar with Java) or an activeX (I've never written any activeX) for security. There won't be any graphics, just business logic functions.

I don't know much, but I do know that it's easier to do active web programming with activex. For instance you can reach the file system of the web page visitors computer :/ On the other hand activex only works on the Windows platform. Java applets works as far as I know also on Unix, Mac and with Netscape. /Magnus
