Powerful Internet applications are easy to create and modify using Microsoft's ActiveX. You can leverage your existing Windows 95 skills to make your Web sites come alive with audio, video, and even 3-D virtual reality. ActiveX works interactively with other Microsoft applications that support Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. By taking advantage of the Common Object Model (COM), ActiveX lets you link forms, spreadsheets, and databases from these sources directly to your Web site. For beginners, ActiveX All In One offers an introduction to basic Web techniques and languages. You'll learn basic and advanced HTML, as well as VBScript and JavaScript. A special chapter shows you how to use Microsoft's Script Debugger for Internet Explorer to zap errors before they cause problems. Then you'll learn to fire up your Web site design using the special features of ActiveX, such as the Control Pad and Script Wizard. ActiveX All In One will show you where to find the latest new tools on the Internet, and how to keep expanding your ActiveX skills. You'll get a thorough walkthrough of how to set up and manage your own multimedia Web site, including choosing server software, connecting to the Internet, and keeping your site secure and up to date.
