Javascript incompatible with mozilla, opera

[pfaisalbe]

Hi

I am new to javascript programimg. I have developed CD catlogue to browse the pdf files. It works verywell with Internet explorer. But it doesn't work with Mozilla and othet browsers. I feel it is due to activex objects. Here is my script.

function ENDSWITHSEARCH(){


var strConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = G:\DATABASE.mdb";

var rs = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Recordset");
var SQL = "select * from PAPERLIST where TITLE like '%" + document.myForm.txtName2.value +"'order by TITLE";
cn.Open(strConn);
rs.Open(SQL, cn,1,1);


Is there anyway in javacscript to avoid the usage of activex to connect database


Regards

Faisal

1) Wrong section; this is for java not java script http://forums.devx.com/forumdisplay.php?f=112
2) Active-X is limited to Internet Explorer
3) Accessing a database client-side is extremely insecure

technically what you are using there is not JavaScript but the Microsoft adaptation called Jscript, and it will only work with Internet Explorer. As has already been mentioned, it's really not something that should be used to connect to a database.
