HTML Layout Control Sample Page

On the dieroll control sample page, we showed you a form with two dice and some buttons and fields. This form doesn't work perfectly in Netscape, because Netscape can't catch the events that the control is firing inside the NCompassLabs plug-in. Our solution was to wrap both controls, the forms, and the script that fills the fields all in an HTML Layout Control. This was the work of mere minutes in Microsoft's Control Pad, which it seems is no longer available. You embed the Layout Control into your page much as you do any other control. The codebase parameter should point to http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/mspert10.cab. The HTML generated by Control Pad will make an OBJECT tag: run it through the NCompassLabs converter to get the equivalent EMBED tag.
