Web Client Powered by ActiveX Thursday, March 14th, 1996

At the world's largest conference on Internet development, Microsoft outlined Internet Explorer 3.0, the first Internet client to integrate Microsoft's ActiveX(TM) Technologies, the new generation of open technologies that let developers create highly interactive Internet applications and content. With Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, developers, content authors, IS professionals and end users reap the benefits of support for such Internet technologies as Frames, the Java language, style sheets and JavaScript, with extensions for the new ActiveX(TM) Technologies. Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 has an open framework--supported by more than 100 companies--as well as cross-platform functionality support and a flexible component architecture.
