Microsoft Office Web Components seems not working with Mozilla. The objects are
not showed on the form.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just open an htm file which should displays office web components
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Nothing. There is no such thing as empty objects. The objects
are not even on the form.

Expected Results:  Maybe it's not Mozilla's fault. Maybe it's Microsoft's fault :)

"Office Web Components is a set of ActiveX® controls installed with Office XP"

This bug is therefore probably a dupe of one asking for activex support but I'm
not 100% and I don't know what the activex bug might be so leaving it unco
yes i know the component is wrong, but if anyone knew about mozilla's stance on 
this it would be this assignee...

I will mark this WONTFIX. Mozilla has no support for ActiveX controls which is
obviously necessary for these pages to render correctly.

There is an ActiveX control plugin (see http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla.htm)
but it offers limited hosting and controls are not scriptable. It is not
distributed with Mozilla and must be downloaded from the site or built from the
source.

Mozilla may over time incorporate the plugin and acquire limited scripting
capabilities of controls but it's doubtful it will ever come anywhere near to
offering the level of support found in IE.
The correct URL is - http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm
