Javascript: “Object does not support this property or method” when invoking an ActiveX object

I have a simple html on Login.aspx with an ActiveX object:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head><title></title>
<script language="javaScript" type="text/javascript"> 

    function getUserInfo() 
    {
        var userInfo = MyActiveX.GetInfo();
        form1.info.value = userInfo;
        form1.submit();
    }

</script>
</head>

<body onload="javascript:getUserInfo()">
<object id="MyActiveX" name="MyActiveX" codebase="MyActiveX.cab" classid="CLSID:C63E6630-047E-4C31-H457-425C8412JAI25"></object>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="Login.aspx">
        <input type="hidden" id="info" name="info" value="" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

The code works fine on my machine (editing: placement and launch), it doesn’t work on the other: there is a "Object does not support this property or method" error in the first line of the javascript function, the cab file is in the same folder as the page file. I don’t know javascript at all and have no idea why the problem arises. Googling didn't help. Do you have any idea?

Edit: IE was used on both machines, and activex was enabled.

Edit2: if (document.MyActiveX) , - , document.MyActiveX ,

Perhaps the browser on another computer does not support activeX? just a wild guess

Perhaps ActiveX requires some prerequisite (such as CRuntime runtime) that is not available on other machines? Have you tried running ActiveX- dependent hosting?

Maybe on another machine there is an antivirus or similar that silently prevents the use of ActiveX?
