I am using Microsoft Dynamics GP10 SDK. Help Program. The program presents a database diagram that you can zoom in to see more detail. When running Internet Explorer an activeX program shows a zoom diagram that allows you to zoom in or out. This feature does not work with firefox.

Firefox doesn't do ActiveX, so it's not surprising it doesn't work. - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ActiveX

Using ActiveX for a program control pretty much makes the program useless for anyone not using Internet Explorer & Windows OS's; which leaves out Mac and Linux users, along with Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome users on Windows.

There is also in a lot of places document.all used in the JavaScript code and that doesn't work in Firefox.
In Firefox you need to use document.getElementById(). There may be more IE specific JavaScript code used that doesn't work in Firefox.
