JavaScript ActiveXObject

[jwsullivan]

I am trying to write some Javascript code to query a SQL database based on info in a form field - in order to populate other fields on the form from fields in a table in the database.

When I execute the following :

conn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection");

I get an error as follows

ReferenceError: ActiveXObject is not defined
1: External:Exec

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
