The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 for Macintosh

SUMMARY

Internet Explorer version 3.0 for Macintosh includes native support for ActiveX. To access ActiveX content using Internet Explorer 3.0, you do not need to use the ActiveX plug-in that is included with Internet Explorer.

MORE INFORMATION

When you install Internet Explorer 3.0, an ActiveX plug-in is copied to the "Microsoft Internet Applications:Internet Explorer 3.0 Folder:ActiveX Plugin" folder. This ActiveX plug-in is not required to access ActiveX content using Internet Explorer 3.0. It should only be used if you are using a previous version of Internet Explorer for Macintosh, or if you are using a third-party Internet browser that supports plug-ins, but does not include native support for ActiveX.

NOTE: Unlike Java programs, the integrity of ActiveX content is not verified in Internet Explorer 3.0. Therefore, you should only access ActiveX content that you are sure is not harmful.
