Hi,

Is there a javascript event I can hook on to when the object is instantiated? I need to show the user a dialog box once they have installed the activex control. Something like

f = document.getElementById("factory");f.addEventListener("onStateChange","factoryReady");

Hi

factory doesnt fire our own event during instantiation/loading, but the object tag will support readystate changes, so for example the document object does not enter the readystate until the factory object is ready.

You could try addEventListener("readystatechange","factoryReady")

However, I'm not sure how you will know the difference between object instantiation and installation.

Hi,

Using readystatechange is working for me, I didnt need to know the difference between instantiation and installation, just that it was available. Using a timeout wasnt working out as it could take the user 10s of seconds to do the install.

thanks,
