IE goes blank when it the activex is downloading for the first time

I am using an activex control in one of my web pages. The size of the activex is 3MB+. For the first time, when the user comes to the page, user gets a blank screen till the activex is downloading and the screen does not load until the activex is completely downloaded.

Is there a way to show some kind of a message to the user till the actual screen gets loaded?

Check sample here, maybe it will be helpful...

Thanks will look into this. So the idea is not to load the activex on along with the page. Inject the markup for the activex programmatically through js?

The idea of the sample – yes. But usually ActiveX installation begins after rendering all other page content, regardless of injection method – JavaScript or object tag. I suppose the cause in your page and the sample I gave you will help you to find the reason.
