Hi,

This error happen because your code is try to perform some risky task, so browser blocking you.

So you can try this

Open IE > Tools > Internet Options > Security > Custom Level > (Enable Active X )

hi.
it is giving me only following error and it stops running..
Microsoft JScript runtime error: Automation server can't create object
i tried to google it
i have changed the settings in IE in options for activex enable
but it is not working

details:
i have taken class library and written some code for displaying error
then i have build it and also registered it in studio cmd
then added to website by add reference
and the written a java-script to access its function

I think your problem is different you are try to access some Custom DLL using Active X and result of which your code may run at you machine but it will surely not run on other machine where that DLL is not registered.

This is not a good way to access Active X dll if you explain you requirement is details then I can try to solve your problem...

Solution 2

I had tried this..

Open IE >> Tools >> Internet Options >> Security >> Custom Level >>(Enable) Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting

You Javascript for ActiveX will surely run.

Thanks

Mark it solution if this is your answer..

Solution 3

hi..
i solved it
After registering dll it was not present on the following path
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
so i copy-paste it
and

XML

<script type ="text/javascript">
    function myload() {
        var myAx = new ActiveXObject("ClassLibraryFinger.Class1");
        if(myAx != null) {
            myAx.ShowDialog("hello from asp.net");
            var d = document.getElementById("axmsg");

            var s = myAx.Hello();
            d.outerText = s;
        }
        else
            alert("NOOOO... we failed");
    }
</script>

added my class name after the dll name in activex object
Thank you...:)

This solution will work only in your system not in other system.

Because your code may run at you machine but it will surely not run on other machine where that DLL is not registered.

I think you need some Secure java script?

If So then I can help you...
