What ActiveX element is on this webpage? Everytime I load it in Internet Explorer a pop up comes up saying "click here to run an ActiveX on this web page"... Any ideas? http://www.curiousclothing.com/test/

Perhaps the mouseover.js?

Me neither.
No ActiveX there. No ActiveXObject() calls, no <object>s, nothing.

Never click on an ActiveX installer unless you know and trust the website.

But there's no ActiveX on this page.

I just had it happen that I had a QuickTime video on a page. With the advent of IE 7, I had to change the style for the site around a bit. After doing so, I noticed that IE 6 was giving me that click to run activeX crap, even though I was loading in the object/embed from an external javascript file. However, I also had a fall back video in a p element with its display:none set by script so that non-javascript enable browsers could see it if they wanted. Apparently, after making the changes, this no longer hid it from IE 6. I'm not sure of all the ins and outs but, I solved the problem by also enclosing the p in a noscript tag, then all the browsers were happy again.
To make a long story short, I think that something like this may have happened to the OP but, they solved it by simply removing whatever it was. Either that or they are confused by IE's info bar locally, or something very odd is up with their browser - it may even already have been compromised by another activeX attack from elsewhere.

I too don't see the Activex control dialog box. I've used IE 7
