Active X controls not working in IE 5.5 but works in IE 6.0

 Active X controls not working in IE 5.5 but works in IE 6.0

Hi,

I developed an asp page that has ActiveX controls and VB
Script.
This page opens with full functionality in browsers with
IE 6.0

But some browsers with lesser versions do not open this
fully - some controls are left out. Also, the portions
that are left out do not vary when the page is opened next
time - that is, the same controls are missing the next
time page is opened.

The source page does not show any error or timeout. The
sources for a page that fully loads and for a page that
loads only partially are the same.

Please help how to resolve this and why does this occur

Thanks
Simhan

Testing with different browsers implies testing on different machines.  It
sounds like the controls are already installed on the IE6 machine but not
the the IE5.5 machine.

Have you allowed for download/install?

Is the AX control safe for scripting?  Are both browsers configured the same
for AX controls?
