I smell Active-X.

Yep, someone used Active-X.

Nope. And it never will, either.

None. Not even other Windows browsers can run Active-X.

This is a feature, not a bug.

If you want to access that item, you'll have to do one of two things:

1 convince whoever wrote it to re-write it using something other than  
Active-X (and good luck doing that...)

2 get a system which can run MSIE 6. That would be a WinBox, or an  
Intel Mac with Windows or some other method of running Windows, or a  
Linux box with WINE. A WinBox would probably be best.
