Warning !!! - IE behaviour modified on: Active X / Flash / Movie content + Solutions

Posted Monday, March 20, 2006 11:21 AM by Mischa Kroon

Microsoft says that, from now on, ActiveX control activation will require that, "when a web page uses the APPLET, EMBED, or OBJECT elements to load an ActiveX control, the control's user interface is blocked until the user activates it. If a page uses these elements to load multiple controls, each interactive control must be individually activated."

This effects:
ActiveX controls, Adobe Reader, Firefox plug-ins, Java applets, QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player, etcetera

How to get around it:
use document.write to write the tags.
