Organization of This Guide
This Arbortext IsoView Programmer's Reference begins with an Introduction that describes how to embed the Arbortext IsoView ActiveX control in HTML documents using the <object> tag. It also covers mandatory and optional <object> tag parameter settings that affect how the ActiveX control appears and reacts to browser events.
The remaining sections of this guide provide code references for the methods (functions), properties, and events that comprise the Arbortext IsoView API. The content of each of these sections is summarized below:
