Hi,
I am looking for an example please on how to get an ActiveX's events to submit a form please ... in other words catch an event within a web page.

I have an ActiveX control I use in an HTML document.

<object
classid=&quot;clsid:E56666C6-4F59-11D5-9E0A-000102A3FE41&quot;
ID=&quot;123&quot; >
</object>

The control throws up an event which I would like to catch in the HTML with a
script (javascript, VBscript).
The event name is &quot;Event&quot; and has an argument which type is declared in
the activeX control. But this type I cannot seem to use.
I tried in Javascript but unfortunately it does not work:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; FOR=&quot;123&quot; EVENT=&quot;Event(p)&quot;>
alert(&quot;nothing&quot;);
</script>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot; FOR=&quot;123&quot; EVENT=&quot;Event&quot;>
alert(&quot;nothing&quot;);
</script>

How can I catch an ActiveX event in HTML? Does Javascript, VBscript, ASP support this?

If you have any ideas or could refer me to a resource on the web I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance
