You know, Eric, I think that if you tell someone something like this, you should point out that an activeX control is a microsoft-only solution. It will only work with Internet Explorer, thus excluding over half the people -- and only on Windows, excluding some more people. This would explain why activeX controls are used by relatively few webmasters. So, Adri, If you want a chat applet that works cross-browser and cross-platform, you could find various java applets at www.gamelan.com. That's my two cents worth.
