> 1) Is there such thing as an "active X" disabled detector

far as i know, no

> 2) Is disabling active X mean that no plug ins will work?

far as i know, yes

disclaimer:  i don't know much about plugins and activex


richard, one obvious strategy is to design the site so that it does not
depend on activex for basic functionality or communication

another strategy is to let the user decide if she wants the hjigh tech
version --
"click here if you cannot see the rotating logo" removes the need for any
fancy detection, whether plugin, activex, or whatnot
