MSFT gives a few different ways to serve up ActiveX without getting the
security warning and the first type they mention seems to be the easiest
and cleanest. At first blush I don't see a reason for the other methods
really; are they there just because these are other ways to use
javascript or are there some other benefits to the more round-about
methods?
