Problem:
If security setting in IE7/8 are set to not allow ActiveX, user gets a prompt when using CF Ajax components. This is expected in IE6, but in IE7/8, they have the XMLHttpRequest() object. I looked at your cfajax.js code, and you are checking for the ActiveX() object before XMLHttpRequest() which is why this is happening. The standards way (XMLHttpRequest()) should always be checked first before a fallback method.
Method:
Change security settings in IE to Deny or Prompt to run ActiveX controls.
Result:
Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plugins to run?
