Have you been bit by the “Click to activate control” change to IE yet?
For some history on why we now have to deal with this http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1943847,00.asp
MS whitepaper describing the changes http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp
Basically when the control renders, it will be activated (i.e. a video will start playing) but you have to click on it before you can do anything else like adjust the volume.
You can work around this by having script write the control into the document.
http://therippa.blogspot.com/2006/03/activateactivex.html offers another interesting solution which is a bit less akward than alterring your existing pages.
