I am wondering why the following code does not create two from my activex object. When an object tag is directly in HTML, it works fine, but for life, I cannot dynamically create an object. Is this a security issue or something else? I find it difficult to find documentation on this issue.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="InkWebForm._Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<script language="javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var s = '<OBJECT id="inkImage" classid="InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk" VIEWASTEXT></OBJECT>';
document.getElementById("inkHolder").innerHTML = s;
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<OBJECT id="inkImage2" classid="InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk" VIEWASTEXT>
</OBJECT>
<div id="inkHolder"></div>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Well, when I examine dom, the explorer object does show the element, but IE displays a small square field, not an activex control.
Here comes the second attempt, based on a proposal from casablanca. I think there might be a security problem happening here, according to your suggestion, this should work, but it is not. Same problem.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="InkWebForm._Default" %>

<head runat="server">
<script language="javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var obj = document.createElement('object');
obj.setAttribute('id', 'inkImage');
obj.setAttribute('classid', 'InkControls.dll#InkControls.ResizableInk');
document.getElementById('inkHolder').appendChild(obj);
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
