The word is out -- Microsoft® Internet Explorer 3.0 and ActiveX technologies provide a smart, compelling new Web development platform. Now you can build leading-edge ActiveX Web pages with ease by using the new Microsoft ActiveX Control Pad. The ActiveX Control Pad (available for immediate download from this site) is a utility that lets you add ActiveX controls and ActiveX scripting (Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JavaScript) to your HTML pages with point-and-click ease. Your pages can then be viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or other Web browsers that support ActiveX controls.
The ActiveX Control Pad also includes the new Microsoft HTML Layout Control, which provides exciting new layout capabilities based on the new HTML extensions proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Using the ActiveX Control Pad, you can easily author pages that include advanced layout and multimedia features such as exact object placement, object layering, and transparency effects for viewing with the Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 Web browser.
