Hello,

Id like to control if an ActiveX Control really was initialized. Following
Script I used:

    var obj = new ActiveXObject("ProgID");
    if(obj == null) alert("Error found!");

But this doesnt do the job! The error comes up before the if-statement!
Does anyone have an answer?

On the server with JScript 5 or 5.5 installed you can do
  try {
    var obj = new ActiveXObject('ProgID');
  }
  catch (e) {
    Response.Write('error');
  }
If you are sure the browser has JScript 5 installed you can do
   try {
    var obj = new ActiveXObject('ProgID');
  }
  catch (e) {
    alert('error');
  }
The problem is IE4/JScript 3 throws an error on the try/catch statement
