What's the new thing after ActiveX?I need to do some graphics work from my ASP.NET 2.0 Website (can upgrade to 3.0 if really needed). Actually, I need the user to be able to draw some things in a rectangle. Some years ago I would have do it using ActiveX, but now I know MS has a new philosophy about this, probably driven to more and more security. What I want to know is : What's the new thing now? Is "the new thing" working on Windows, Mac and Linux? What about IE, Netscape, Firefox and Opera? Should I resolve to use Java (I'd really appreciate if I could avoid it)? Would the installation of the .NET Framework be required on the client machine? Actually, I don't need the control (or whatever it's called) to work on everything, but the most would be the better... The bare minumum would be Windows and Mac, IE and Netscape (and Firefox for instance) Thanks ThunderMusic WPF/E
