If you type about:plugins in the URL bar do you see the joystick plug-in listed?

plugin isn't for Chrome of course- and can't see it in that of course yet the
joystick isn't detected in GEFS online in Google Chrome either.. Internet
Exlporer doesn't show anything when I type about:plugins ...

For IE, go to Manage Add-ons, click Toolbars and Extensions, then select to
show all add-ons. The plug-in should be there too.
Also, in devices and printers, right-click on your joystick, select Advanced,
then make sure your Sidewinder is set there.

yes- checked IE- and plugin is installed-
Name JoystickCtl Class
Publisher (Not verified) Numfum Ltd
Status Enabled
Architecture 32-bit
I note it's 32 bit- will that be an issue since I'm running Win 7 64 bit?
(as above I already confirmed joystick is recognized in devices and printers
etc (and works in other games/flight sims fine)..

On Windows 7 the default IE is 32-bit as far as I remember. Does it work on
this test page:

thanks- I tried that weblink in IE 32 bit and a still picture of a 'sheep' with
this message-
Note: when running the page as a local file, IE classes the ActiveX as unsafe.
This works without warning when the page is on-line.
(not sure if that's what's supposed to happen but moving the joystick doesn't
do anything on screen)

In Firefox, if you type about:addons in the address bar, do you see the plug-in
and does it say "ask to activate"? If so, that's the problem. It changed a
short while ago:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins
Since the joystick plug-in has no visible component, there's nothing to click
to perform the activation. You need to set it to "always activate".
In Chrome you need to go to chrome://plugins and select "always allowed" for
the plug-in. I'll need to look into IE some more.

I made a change to the test script above, so the example should now work in IE
too. Any site using the plug-in will need to use the updated 'joystick.js'.

thanks- after selecting ask/always activate as above I do now get the message
in GEFS online in google chrome saying CH PRO PEDALS USB (Vendor: 068e
Product: 00f2) detected on native HTML5 API (& in Firefox 'Controller detected
on JS Joystick extension' - not specifiying any partiular joystick or
peripheral) but moving the pedals doesn't do anything and what about my
sidewinder joystick..?

acually since trying in chrome again- the microsoft joystick function finally
worked in GEFS online - but was very temperamental- can't remember now exactly-
but after refreshing the GEFS online it found it- initially all control
surfaces worked but not the throttle- then suddenly the throttle started
working..just a little too repsonsive with some of te aircraft or not
responsive enough- but that's likely a GEFS online issue...
