The information in this article applies to:
Some ActiveX controls that shipped with Internet Explorer 3.0x and 4.0x are no longer included with Internet Explorer 5.0.
Page authors should not assume that these controls are present on a machine running Internet Explorer. The removal of these controls from the Internet Explorer installation demonstrates clearly why page authors should use the CODEBASE attribute on any OBJECT tag.
These controls are the Label control, Popup Menu control, Timer control, and Marquee control.
Almost all of the functionality that these controls provide can be easily achieved using Dynamic HTML. It is recommended that page authors replace instances of these controls in their pages with equivalent Dynamic HTML.
The following is a list of the controls that no longer ship with Internet Explorer, their class ID (CLSID), and the current location of these controls. Use these URLs to specify the appropriate URL in the CODEBASE attribute of the OBJECT tag. (Alpha, x86, and MIPS versions are available for each control.)
This list also includes suggested alternatives for some of the controls that are no longer included with Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer Label Control
-------------------------------
clsid={99B42120-6EC7-11CF-A6C7-00AA00A47DD2}
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/alpha/ielabel.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/x86/ielabel.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/mips/ielabel.cab
Internet Explorer Popup Menu Control
------------------------------------
clsid={7823A620-9DD9-11CF-A662-00AA00C066D2}
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/alpha/iemenu.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/x86/iemenu.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/mips/iemenu.cab
Internet Explorer Timer Control
-------------------------------
clsid={59CCB4A0-727D-11CF-AC36-00AA00A47DD2}
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/alpha/ietimer.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/x86/ietimer.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/mips/ietimer.cab
Alternative: window.setTimeout() method of the document object model. In
addition, window.setTimeout() is a cross platform solution that is not
affected if the user has ActiveX controls disabled.
Internet Explorer Marquee Control
---------------------------------
clsid={1A4DA620-6217-11CF-BE62-0080C72EDD2D}
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/alpha/marquee.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/x86/marquee.cab
http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/iexplorer/mips/marquee.cab
Alternative: <MARQUEE> HTML tag. This will decrease the download size of
your Web page. Also, your page will not be affected if a user has
ActiveX controls disabled.
