Well that was annoying

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.

The history of watches and time keeping is about as old as the history of the human race. The oldest extant sun-dial can be found in Egypt and dates back to 1500 BCE. We know that the early Egyptians used the pyramids as well as the obelisks as a forerunner to the sundial.

It is said that one of the first watches was created in Italy around 1524 CE. The main problem for portable time keeping before the 1600s was the lack of driving power. Timepieces of that era were typically driven by weights making it very difficult for portable use. The inaccuracy of timepieces in this era were very common and most watches only had one hand that had to be wound at least twice a day. 2/3/2008 1:52 PM | replica watches online
