Other simple solution for elimination of a “Click to activate” IE problem
——–
Just add in the head of your page the script:

and at the end of the page:

fixFlashActivation();

the problem is solved!

I tried to get javascript to work with other embed tags, all said the id was undefined, finally this one, in all simplicity worked great.

Thanks you saved from pulling out my hair

Hello all,

since the solution with the javascript protocol usage in the SRC attribute does not work with my IE6 (probably some of the latest security patches disabled that functionality), I used the MSDN way and created an external JS-file.

It works but I discovered the following problem: After I delete all cached offline content and reload the page, I HAVE to activate the control. If I close the browser and open a new one, the activation is not needed.

Does anyone have an idea what causes this annoying behaviour?

Thanks in advance, Ingmar

Hehe,

I just found out, IE7 doesn’t allow any more javascript protocol usage in SRC attribute… any suggestions?

Chris,

What can I say.. excellent script man. simple yet very effective. It took me a while to look for a solution that would work in one of the portals that I was making, and this did the trick. Pulling an external file did not work but your script hit the bullseye.

Great job man and more power to you.

Nice trick. You said that you found it during research. Can you elaborate on that?

Also, I created an external script that fixes existing pages, with the HTML already there. It uses the DOM to rewrite the node, using an external file. Just add a link to the external javascript and you’re set to go. My script needs to be tested more — I wrote it last night. See an example at:

HI, Its a great idea,

I also do the same thing. Once the site is complete, take all the flash ekements from our site design , put it in extermal javascript file and insert that javascript into website. Works fine but ….

Can Microsoft not pay 500 M and let it be like it was earleir :) They can divert some from Mr. Buffets Donations to pay that :) :)

Cheers
