There are many reasons why you should consider using ActiveX controls in your website ,
for starters , they make data collection and editing over the internet more fun and easier .
All our controls are safe for scripting and initialization , which means that they cannot
be used for malicous purposes beyond what any other part of Internet Explorer or other web
browser could be . Simply put , none of the controls provide access to the file system or
any part of the operating system which could potentially damage a users computer .
So , you have available components which you can include in your web-pages which simplify and
enhance your web-site visitors experience . Consider a web form where you have ten file fields ,
do you really want your visitors to sit and select ten individual files , or would you rather
add a Boomerang Upload ActiveX control into your web page , where
a visitor or member of your web-site can select all ten files in one go , and you can use
your existing scripts to handle the upload .
Also , editing and modifying online content is a much improved experience if you use
ActiveX controls , because they overcome many limitations of the browser . Editing images
stored on a server , and then uploading and saving them back to the server , is an easy task
using ActiveX control technology . Picasso , an image editor which
we have built into an ActiveX control , can be be added to a web page and used to edit and create
images , and then save them to the server .
Our upload functions support uploading via HTTP or FTP , and also using the browser to post
the data via the normal way , just as if an HTML web form had been used to upload the data .
