Hi Friends; I have a client that, unfortunately, has a lot of services that just runs over InterNet Explorer. This services and applications uses Active-X. I´d like to know, if is available some add-on as IE TAB for Linux Firefox. If not, what can I use at OpenSuse Webrowser to run this applications ?

No other browser supports active-x besides ms-ie. Try ie4linux Or install a windows system on a vm. Kind Regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, I tried to install ie4linux on a 11.x version of openSuse a couple of years ago, after using it successfully on 10.x versions. It wouldn't install, so I referred the problem to this mailing list. The response was that ie4linux is old technology and won't work on the current versions of opensuse.

I don't know if this will help, or not, but it's 'hot off the presses': http://blogs.windows.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2013/01/31/introducing-modern-ie-te... Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I personally would run very fast from a site that suggested it would help you: "3. Consider building with some new features in Windows 8." They refer to it as "coding the modern web". Sigh...

Indeed. Maybe there is some arrogance that exists in certain Microsoft product uses that they don't want users and potential customers who are using Apple products (including iPods), Android (and hence Linux), or even older Microsoft products[1] visiting their site? We often talks of stupid users, but we forget there are a lot of other stupid people people out there, I mean other than the ones responsible for the security screw-ups with Twitter and Facebook. And yes, some of them design and code web site and - shock horror - some of them are in marketing and management and tell people how to design and code web sites and overrule the objections. </irony></sarchasm></litotes> [1] So what's wrong with sticking with XP/Home? -- It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to program.

There are a couple of options (some already mentioned): - Install VMWare Player or VirtualBox, and run a full Windows environment in the virtual machine - Use Crossover (from Codeweavers). IE6 works.. mostly although it's not good enough for real everyday use). IE7 kind of works, but it's crashy. Anything more recent is pretty much a washout. - Use Wine. Same issues as with Crossover. Up to IE6 it mostly works. Anything beyond that either crashes constantly or won't install/launch (take a look at the winhq entries for Internet Explorer - most versions are rated "Garbage"). - Redevelop the web appliction to actually use web standards instead of the Active-X stuff. Your most reliable option if your client has a must-use Active-X application that only works in IE, is to go the virtual machine route (assuming the Active-X app cannot be updated to a standards compliant webapp). A few points if you go this route: - You must install and configure a licensed copy of Windows on each Linux computer that will be used to access this Active-X webapp or you must set up a virtual machine server that your client can use to launch a VM Windows session from each time they require IE. - You can set up the VM to use "Seamless Mode"so that IE appears to be running natively in Linux. - If you run the VM locally instead of on a VM Server, each host PC must have enough RAM to boot and run the VM with reasonable speed/responsiveness. Generally I'd suggest a minimum of 4GB with 1GB dedicated to a single VM instance.
