What\'s the best way to escape active-X purgatory with media objects?
Hello,
We are currently on 8.12/ 8.98.4.5 with a partially virtual, partially physical Intel / SQL backend. In the new year we plan on upgrading to the latest and greatest version (9.1.X) and one of the re-occuring discussions is how to make JDE possibly more accessible to mobile clients from phones, to tablet, etc.
One of the topics we've had is using something like a citrix for application abstraction, but since we use the CSMS module to upload attachments we're still using the Active-X components. I understand there is a HTML front end for media objects that skips active-X, but I'm not really getting a sense from the documentation if this will help open up our options beyond IE. I also can't tell if there are any funky conversions needed, which I wouldn't really expect given its just a front end.
We are using both kinds of media object uploads including "File| Upload" and "OLE" attachments.
Does anyone have any comments, ideas?
Thanks
Malcolm
