Yup, LiveConnect (JSObject) works on both NS and IE. What I said was that
ActiveX controls can't be cast as a JSObject, not that IE doesn't support
LiveConnect.

That's right, except the object was apparently the Real Player ActiveX
control, not an applet.

Yes, it does - no speculation.

I would. It works quite fine in IE4. You can access all the collections,
retrieve properties, call methods, etc. I've been doing DHTML stuff from
an applet. It's cool - no JavaScript. I can access files on my server,
have a full featured object oriented language, get syntax checking from
my compiler, etc.

I haven't tried this on a Mac yet. However, I have a Mac on order, and will
be trying it...
