The only time scripting language will restrict you to IE is if you use
vbscript in client-side code.

There are no such restrictions in server-side code: the language being used
in the server-side code to generate html to be sent to the browser is
completely browser-independent. The html that is generated is what can limit
the browser being used. Browser-restricted html can be created by any
scripting language.

So, depending on what you mean by "ActiveX"  (are you talking about ADO, or
perhaps ADO.Net? ), its use or avoidance will not have an effect on what
browsers can be used. Even if you are planning to directly access the
database from the client-side code (which can really only work in a WAN
environment) it is certainly possible to use ADO in javascript, which is
browser-independent.
