Hi, I was wondering if there was a way I would be able to bind the install of the image uploader to a button etc. Some users are hesitant about the activeX information bar pop up and I was thinking of making the install part of the site registration.
Many thanks,
J Healy

Hello, I have written small code snippet with custom install button. Please note that we need to remember that user selected Image Uploader installation, as control should be displayed automatically on next page load. It is especially important for IE+ActiveX as after initial installation button click the yellow information bar will be displayed. If user will accept ActiveX control installation then the page will be reloaded. After the page reload Image Uploader should be displayed right on page load for successful control installation. Code:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

function createImageUploader(){

c.style.display = "block";
var iu = new ImageUploaderWriter("ImageUploader1", 650, 400);

iu.javaAppletJarFileName = "ImageUploader5.jar";

iu.showNonemptyResponse = "off";
c.innerHTML = iu.getHtml();

function btninstall_click(){
createImageUploader();
document.getElementById("btninstall").style.display = "none";
//Save in cookies that user installed Image Uploader
//We can also retrieve it on server side and save it in profile settings
var expdate = new Date();
expdate.setTime (expdate.getTime() + 100 * (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)); //Current date + 100 days
document.cookie = "ImageUploaderInstalled=1; expires=" + expdate.toGMTString();
}
function window_load(){
//Check whether user installed Image Uploader
if (document.cookie.indexOf("ImageUploaderInstalled") != -1){
createImageUploader();
}

window.onload = window_load;
