Does Safari support ActiveX?

I have a key application needs to install ActiveX, but seems Safari doesn't support that, only IE does. Can anyone help to solve the problem? thanks

Mac OS X (10.4.8)

ActiveX is a Windows Only technology, kind of Microsofts version of Java Applets but of course proprietary.

There's not really a way around this except 'complainin' to the company's site as there are different technologies they can use to do what they require without excluding all Linux and Mac users by design.

There's something to be said about creating a web site that conforms to W3C standards( http://www.w3.org/ ).
