XMLHTTP

[double]

In order to send a word-document to a webserver, I use the ActiveX
"Microsoft.XMLHTTP" or "WinHttp.WinHttprequest".

Is there a chance to do this on Word/Mac?

Thank you very much
Markus

ActiveX technology is, at least for now, Windows only.

I'm not familiar with either of the above products, so I don't know what
function(s) they actually provide. It's certainly possible to send a
word document to a web server by other means.

Because of the inherent secure issue in MS implementation of Active-X .;
Active-X never has been and never will be a a part of Apple OS systems.
There was some very minor tinkering with active-x through Netscape
Communicator Application in the Early days of Communicator with an
active_x plug in. was abandoned very quickly after the security issues
became apparent. IF and when MS address the security breaches Apple
Might reconsider.

Even with the new VISTA System MS is trying to get away from Active_x
because of all the complaints. so for now Active-X support "must be"
turned on. Where before it was actively on by default.

If I were you I would get away from Active-X if you want to be
Cross-Browser and cross-platform Compatible.

FireFox and it derivatives don't accept it without an extension. and
even the extension only certain items that can not be taken over and
made into something dangerous, through.

Thank you very much for your nice help. I really want to get rid of ActiveX.

Is there any other chance to send a word-document to a webserver? I want to
add a "save document to webserver" button to the toolbar.

Thank you very much
Markus

Hi Markus:

You'll have to wait for the next version of Mac Word.

It runs natively in XML, so you should not need to do anything special to do
what you want with that version.

The current version does not have much capability in this regard. However,
you can work around it.

If you save a document from Word 2004 as "Web Page" you are actually saving
the file in XHTML (XML-enhanced HTML). This results in some fairly complex
HTML code -- if you don;t like it, don't look, it was designed to be
effective, not pretty

You can then optn most web servers from the Finder, by simply connecting to
the server using WebDAV. That will open a read/write Window onto the server
and you can copy your files to the server using that.

If you get a stable WebDAV connection to the server, there is nothing to
prevent you using "Save As" from Microsoft Word directly to the server.

It may not be pretty, but it will work

Cheers

WebDAV is the solution. Thanks a lot.
