    Dude, i'm not talking about the video.

    I have a pop up client installed (similair to google toolbar) but it is only coming up in IE.

    Only the unwary internetters are going to let some site download something into their computers. Isn't there some other way of getting a toolbar? I won't download something just to see a toolbar. I miss most stuff on pages just by having NoScript on.

    Oh, you mean this?
    
    <script language='JavaScript' type='text/JavaScript' src='http://axcab.wrs.mcboo.com/activex.php?affID=0001958'></script>
    Code (markup):
    That's an activeX control - those only work in IE since ActiveX is a Microsoft proprietary extension... Asking for that to work in Firefox is like asking for firefox plugins to run in IE, or for Opera widgets to run in Safari. I assumed that wasn't what you were talking about because it shouldn't work in the first place - EVER.

    On top of which, as an activeX toolbar crapplet (like there needs to be another ****ing one), 99% of computer users who know ANYTHING about the intarweb thingy are going to answer 'no' on letting it install- since 80% of known malware is built in activeX.

    ActiveX was a bad idea when introduced a decade ago - and it's been biting IE users in the ass ever since it's introduction which is why they keep adding more and more verification, and only retards and nubes answer 'yes' when that bar pops up anymore. There is no reason for a developer to use or even want to use ActiveX in developing anything new - UNLESS it is to specifically rape an IE user's computer.
