						<p>Internet Explorer for Windows provides a direct portal between a web
page and an ActiveX control (an <span class="emphasis">automation
object</span> in Windows jargon) already registered with the
Windows system. By creating an instance of the
<span class="literal">ActiveXObject</span>, you supply your scripts with a
reference to that control; use that reference to access the
control's properties or invoke its methods.
Uncovering the methods and properties of an automation object may
require a bit of exploration through the Microsoft Developer Network
web site (http://msdn.microsoft.com). A Microsoft
utility, called OLE/COM Object Viewer, can also open doors for the
persistent. A good place to start your exploration is http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/jscript/doc/jsobjActiveXObject.htm.
See also the <span class="literal">GetObject( )</span> global function for a
way to obtain a reference to an automation object via its local
pathname.
