that's what i discovered happening. the scripting dictionary is
unnecessary. you might try using the simple javascript array indexed by
strings; or you can use an Object to hold your data if the array doesn't
work. it's simple and fast enough.

var dictionary = new Object();
dictionary["key1"] = value1;
...

or

var dictionary = new Array();
dictionary["key1"] = value1;


it depends on what you want to do with the keys and values.

Subject: [validation] for Matt Frank: ActiveX Dictionary Object problem?
Date: Sat, 01 Mar 2003 02:01:06 -0000

Hi Matt,
In the release notes for the multi-lanuage validation script, you
write "Fixed automation server error many clients were experiencing
due to use of the 'Scripting.Dictionary' ActiveXObject." I'm working
on a web site, and a few people have reported a problem with the
dictionary object as well. Basically, this javascript call fails:

new ActiveXObject("Scripting.Dictionary");

despite the fact that those people are using systems on which it
should succeed. Is that the same problem you were experiencing? If
so, would you mind sharing what you did to fix it? Thanks very much!

Ethan Diamond
