Tabular Data Control is an ActiveX control provided by the Microsoft. There is no requirement to install it on your computer by yourself as it comes along with your Internet Explorer if you are using Internet explorer which is having more than version 4. It can give you ability to show, sort and access the ASCII information which is saved on the server. For making more use of Tabular Data Control in the client side Javascript is used. If you are a Netscape user then you will require a plug-in for the same function to work.

Tabular Data Control is a Microsoft ActiveX control and it is mostly provided by the Internet Explorer if you have Internet explorer which is having more than 4 version. From this you can able to get the data from the text file int the html file. If you have less size data then this type of control is very helpful to you. But as it is a Activex control this can be supported by your internet explorer only, for other use you would need to have the plugin.

If you want to implement the Tabular Data Control then you would need to have the following coding in your application program:

<OBJECT ID="SomeID" CLASSID="CLSID:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
...

</OBJECT>

* DataURL
* UseHeader
* TextQualifier
* FieldDelim
