<p>It's not quite a "programming" question, but I hope its related closely enough.</p>

<p>Do you know if it is possible to configure the browser in Linux (e.g. Firefox) to use Wine to create ActiveX objects? I would like to handle web pages that use:</p>

<pre><code>var xmlDocument = new ActiveXObject( Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0 )
</code></pre>

<p>etc. in Javascript.</p>

ActiveXObject is part of the Windows Script host, and not available in Linux unless you can use Wine to install it.
As a side issue, the actual ActiveXObject is an instance of a windows application, and not generally available in Linux (especially not the MS Office suite).

Edit: Had Wine confused with Mono. Fixed now.
