Why
You Need It
Microsoft® has made changes to how the
Internet Explorer® browser processes "active content" such as applet, object, and
embed tags for JAVA applets, Flash .swf files, Flash menu applications,
and other such controls.
If they are created by "inline" code
in the HTML of your page -- a dotted double line now appears around all such controls when you
place your mouse over such content; and a tooltip appears, saying "Click to activate and
use this control".
You must then first click on the control (JAVA
applet, Flash presentation, Flash menu, etc.) in order to use it.
While all such active content will still work
-- for your visitors, this can cause considerable confusion and inconvenience, particularly in
the case of crucial menu and other navigation controls that are affected.
What It Is
Active Content Code Converter
"externalizes" your applet, object, or embed code to a
JavaScript file. You save this JavaScript file in the same place as the page that will
use it. A snippet of JavaScript code you then insert in your page in place of your old
HTML applet, object or embed code will then dynamically write the
appropriate material into your page. This circumvents the problem. |
