ActiveX Browser Plugin

Combination View Flat View Tree View
Threads [ Previous | Next ]
Hi,
 
I'm working on an integration of Salesforce.com with Jabber. The sample code provided on the Jabber website for video and voice requires that the browser plugin be enabled.
This works fine when I run the code as plain HTML. However, when I use the same code for a Salesforce page(visualforce) , it says that the plugin is unavailable even though it has been installed.
Is there any workaround where I can use the code without the ActiveX plugin?
 
Thanks

Vijetha,
As far as I know, the plugin is still needed at this point. Do you have any log that can share here so that we can get more details to try to see what was the root cause?

You should be able to get the log files from

Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Application Data\softphone.log
Windows 7/Vista C:\Users\{username}\Application Data\Local\softphone.log
Mac OS X /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/softphone.log

Thanks,
Howard

I have attached the screenshots of the log on IE.
softphonelogHTML is the log when I run the code as plain HTML on my desktop
softphonelogAPEX is the log when I run the same code as a visualforce page on salesforce.com

Hi Vijetha,

Could it be a security issue ? If the sample application works in Internet Explorer, I would suggest to add the Visual force URL to the IE trusted sites. From the screen shots I think you are running Windows 7, what version of Internet Explorer ?

Hope it helps, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Yes I'm running windows 7 and IE8. I added the visualforce URL to trusted sites, but it still doesn't seem to work. I get the same 'phone cannot be initialized' message.
