Q: 

How do I find the ProgId for an ActiveX control using javascript?

I am using an ActiveX control and I need to find it's ProgId so that I can see if ActiveX is disabled using the " var p = new ActiveXObject(ProgId); " try/catch method.

All I know about the object is what I put in my .aspx page:

Also, I have looked up and down my registry and can't find that CLSID, maybe because it's only installed through IE?

Any help/tips woudl be greatly appreciated. (Hopefully based around javascript, as I am only accessing the object from client side.)

Thanks, Andrew
