You can't read the registry without ActiveX - which means using IE only. Firefox, Chrome, etc do not support them, and most installations of IE don't either because of the security hole ActiveX controls represent.

Accessing the registry requires access to the host computer (which may not have a registry) which is forbidden for security reasons.

try this code

XML

<script type="text/javascript">
            function readValue() {
                var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
                var value = WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\FTP\\Use PASV");
                document.write("Value of Use PASV: " + value);
            }
        </script>
