ActiveX component in Internet Explorer

We are looking to use an activeX component to display and modify an image in Internet Explorer.

The help files with the component, suggest placing the activeX .lpk and .cab files into the same directory as the web pages themselves and then referencing them using a relative codebase= parameter.

Obviously with Jade producing dynamic web pages this is hardly practical, and I was wondering if other people have attempted a similar thing, and if so, if there was a "right place" to put the .lpk and .cab files?
I also wonder if using relative linking in jade, where the link "relates to".

Hi Kirsty, You can tell where the link refers to by looking at how to link images on a web page. Take a look at an <img=...> tag and see where the images is located. If it is "images/someimage.jpg" then the web page is "relative" to the directory that the "images" directory sits in, and you could put your .lpk and .cab files there.

Hope this helps,
Allistar.
