[araver]

Hi
I have been trying to find a solution for getting rid of the (click to activate this control within IE7. I tried using a javascript. I am mostly having issues embedding flash in an article. Is there a way I can get ride of the box within an article?

Thanks so Much!

Narf. You shall not!
This was made from Microsoft, because "running stuff automatically in a browser" is patented (sic!) by a st**id patent-trolling company. Letting the user click to activate it, avoids that MS needs to pay several million dollars for licensing this extremely complex technique which required several highly paid experts to invent ... (Narf!).
BTW: If you find a way to disable it, you might be required to obtain a license for this "feature" ...

Maybe this helps:

I even did not notice that MS has licensed this stuff last year ...
A preview update for IE can be found here:

In April 08, a "cumulative" Update is going to be shipped, which will put IE back in to "old" modus (i.e. no click to activate again).
