Image of StopLite Control.

NOTE: Since your browser hasn't been activated with ActiveX, the StopLite above is a mere static image rather than the ActiveX control you're unable to use. If the control above was real, you could click on it to change the StopLite. Instead, clicking the image will give you different -- but perhaps more rewarding in the long run -- behavior. Try it! :)

In addition to not loading the controls, the JavaScript code will fail because the controls it manipulates are not available. Finally, Netscape 3.0b6 seems to fire the click event (and therefore display the alert) even though the control isn't present.

Why not download Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 Non-MSDN link and experience what you've been missing?

(If you ARE using Internet Explorer 3.0 or later, the fact that you're seeing this means that you have ActiveX controls disabled. To enable them, select Options from the View menu, then select the Security tab. Make sure that "Enable ActiveX controls and plug-ins" is checked, then click OK. Finally, click on the Refresh button to reload this page.)

If your browser was ActiveX-enabled, you'd have an ActiveX text label control here. It would change as the StopLite changed.

Either enable ActiveX or download Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 Non-MSDN link to experience what you've been missing.

This page uses JavaScript to link the controls. Click to jump to the VBScript version of this page. Or click to open (run) the Visual Basic demo app for this control.

This page REQUIRES an ActiveX-activated browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Non-MSDN link version 3.0.

Note: If the StopLite does not display properly, make sure that you've installed and registered STOPLITE.OCX and the DLLs it requires as described in the DLLREQ.ASP file.
