Using VB6 activedocument and DHTML

The VB6 development environment has options to create ActiveX documents and DHTML applications. I have tried creating an ActiveX document (which will work only with internet explorer) but is very powerful as you can basically have a FULL executable application.
What is the use and how can one use a VB6 DHTML application? I don't mean using DHTML on a web page with vbscript or javascript, but a full VB6 DTHML application? Has anyone used it? What browswers will support it and how do you deploy such an application?
Thanks.
