Handling COM events from Javascript

[Almog Levin]

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and new to JS, I was hoping someone could help me.
I've had some code, written by my predecessors in the company, in which some Javascript was handling events of a VB6 object using the FOR/EVENT syntax. I was asked to replace the VB6 with an ATL object. I did, with the same class Id and everything, but the Javascript no longer registers for the event. The object methods are called, but the events are not raised. I debugged the COM object, the event is indeed fired and there are 0 connections. I was also able to handle these events in VB6.
I tried to replace the FOR/EVENT syntax with object1.eventna me=function, to no avail.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!
Almog.

Welcome to the forum.

You're obviously coding for IE only. Have you checked the docs at MSDN?

[Almog Levin]

I have, and I can't see why my code doesn't work. Are you concluding that I'm writing for IE because I'm using the FOR/EVENT syntax? It's just what my predecessor did, I'm willing to try alternatives...
Thanks again!

Yes, but in this particular case, it may make sense if it's for a controlled user environment, e.g. an intranet.

I don't know much COM/ATL stuff but if you post your code, I, or someone else, may be able to help.
