The latest MSIE update - "click to activate"

For those using embedded Flash, your MSIE users are quite likely being prompted to "click to activate" Flash objects, RealMedia, Quicktime and other active content.  The extra click sure adds very little to usability among your MSIE viewing audience  :(

I found a quick fix (and a brief explaination) here:

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get this working? I placed the javacript file on my root folder.

And then in my index.php of my template, I included the following code in between

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>


It didn't work for me.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

Placing



between will not work.

The line needs to be inserted after the last tag.  You might try placeing it at the bottom of the file after the last closing php tag
