# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Works for me! How did you come up with this solution, and why does it work?

Thanks! 3/22/2006 12:29 PM | chris

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar The key is that the embed, object tags must be loaded from a imported script file. So all this does is set the tags right back to their current values... and IE seems to think that counts! 3/22/2006 12:37 PM | Matt Watson

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar I really hope that this fix doesn't become obsolete because of some patch. This is the only lightweight solution that I've come across; every other solutions requires significant reworking.
Thanks again. 3/22/2006 2:28 PM | chris

# EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - My fix is shorter, and uglier

Gravatar I found a shorter fix that's both a lot more ugly and silly:
http://www.hoeben.net/node/135

I like the absurdity of this one though... 3/30/2006 12:54 PM | ahoeben

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Hmm... interesting but it causes problems with signed applets because it appears the plugin reloads the applet when the js reassigns the outerHTML and then can't find the class file any more and leaves you with a hung IE that won't close without brute force.
Nice try though... I'll keep looking. 4/3/2006 11:49 PM | Chris Harlow

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Seems to work initially but as soon as you mouseover the element it causes IE to crash :-( 4/4/2006 3:19 AM | Rich

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Rich, do you remember which JRE you were using when experienced the crash? 4/5/2006 7:05 AM | Muhammed

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Just as an update, I have mostly tried it with Flash objects and it seems to work well. I have not tried this "hack" on anything else. 4/5/2006 7:35 AM | Matt Watson

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Has anyone else had trouble with signed applets crashing IE ? 4/6/2006 3:47 AM | Nigel

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar I may be dense, but I did put one line for between the tags, and created a separate eolasfix.js file in the same directory. I still get the "Click to activate and use this control" message when I put my mouse over the Flash object. Did I miss something? TIA. 4/8/2006 8:23 AM | David Alexander

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar I also tried the same line in the area, so it would execute. Still no results. 4/8/2006 10:44 AM | David Alexander

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar The problem with this 'fix' is that it loads the object twice. Once by the original HTML, and then again by script. Ideally you want to prevent the HTML load if you know it's going to use script. The example here http://www.hoeben.net/node/135 goes some way towards that but doesn't work for IE 7. It doesn't like the open ended NOSCRIPT tag. 4/12/2006 3:32 PM | Adam Leggett

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Maybe we could make a HttpHandler or something that could pull out the html, stick it into an WebResource.axd include dynamically? 4/12/2006 5:12 PM | Matt Watson

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Hello!

I have been used nearly the same workaround and it works perfectly for me. There are some differences, see http://www.dgx.cz/trine/item/jak-obejit-aktivovani-pluginu-v-ie

activation is required by all IE versions, so conditional comment should be <!--[if IE]>
IMHO IE uses only for embeding ActiveX till version 4. So only first for(..) is needed.

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Help needed.

I have a flash object in my jsp which goes like this.

This flash object takes in parameters FlashVars.

When i try to implement the same solution, it works fine fine for simple flash objects but not for the above one as it takes extra parameter called FlashVars. Help needed to fix this. 4/17/2006 6:04 AM | Naresh R

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Hi,
Although very clean, this solution does not seem to work with applets that contain params. Anyone know how to fix this?
Any sugestion would be great!

Btw, the solution at:
https://geekswithblogs.net/mwatson/archive/2006/03/22/73022.aspx
works fine on applets with params on IE6, but does not work on IE7 (some issue with the tag). 4/18/2006 4:37 AM | msd

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar I have a fix that works, but sometimes makes the page hang and never fires the onload event I have that runs my navigation. Can anyone tell me why this would cause the page not to load all the way? It loads the first time, but if you navigate to another page and hit "back" it does not load fully. If you hit "refresh" it will load fine.

theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i=0; i<theObjects.length; i++){
theObjects[i].outerHTML=theObjects[i].outerHTML;
}

theEmbeds = document.getElementsByTagName("embed");
for (var i=0; i<theEmbeds.length; i++){
theEmbeds[i].outerHTML=theEmbeds[i].outerHTML;
}

You call this script after the last object on the page. 4/25/2006 5:38 AM | Donna

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Here is a short Javascript fix + flash/HTML sample that gets around the activation problem without wasting too much time and traffic for downloading a workaround script.

It doesn't need major HTML source code alterations, just a single script include at the end of every page using any flash or applet controls.

Gravatar Hello,

Try my solution to activate objects in Html pages.
Download: http://www.orontesprojects.com/activeobj/instobj.exe

Version 1.03 works with:

* flash
* shockwave
* quicktime
* realplayer
* mediaplayer

Simple enter the input & output directory's and press convert. Object Activator does all the work for you ...

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar I have several pages that use this script to set the object, and although I have gotten several fixes to work, non of them work on this:

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Here is another simple fix.

Make a js file like this and include it:

function writeFlash(flashdata)
{
document.write(flashdata);
}

Then just do this on your page

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Matt, you're too good, it worked from the first trial. May I suggest a change to the cosmetic ? Making it more readable and easier to maintain ?

Many thanks, that's the best solution I've seen.

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Hey Matt,

Your solution does not work in my latest IE7-beta... It works in the ActiveX upgrade for IE6. I looks like document.write will not be a solution in IE7.

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Works just fine in 7.0.5346.5

Make sure you don't have javascript debugging on.
From their site:
Warning If you uncheck the Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer) option in the Advanced Tab of the Internet Options Control Panel, controls created using these techniques will still require activation. 5/20/2006 5:25 AM | Matt Watson

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Matt,

I have tried with your suggestion, but the objects still require activation...

Your solution works fine in IE6...

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Joe,

On this well-known MS page, they explicitly say:

The following example uses document.write to load a control dynamically.

document.write is an official MS way.....Passing the stuff through parameters or having it in the external JS should not change anything.

This solution is so good, I just implemented it anywhere it was needed. Let's see the publicly released IE 7 before making conclusions. For the time being, it's a beta, and from what I can read on french NGs, it's full of bugs.

Cheers

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar msd said :

Well...
I found a way to clone the applets while keeping its parameters (usualy, IE zaps all the param tags once the applet is started, only leaving _cx and _cy).
Here it is :
function doApplet(){
var app=document.getElementsByTagName('applet')[0];
var par=app.parentNode;
var app2=app.cloneNode(true);
par.removeChild(app);
par.innerHTML=app2.outerHTML;
} 5/25/2006 6:50 PM | frenchyooy

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar The method of Matt works fine. Object Activator 1.43 uses a simular method, and does all the work for you:

Mark 5/27/2006 11:57 PM | Mark Jennings

# re: EOLAS ActiveX IE6 - I found a fix?

Gravatar Type the following script,

//ediy v2
n=navigator.userAgent;
w=n.indexOf("MSIE");
if((w>0)&&(parseInt(n.charAt(w+5))>5)){
T=["object","embed","applet"];
for(j=0;j<2;j++){
E=document.getElementsByTagName(T[j]);
for(i=0;i<E.length;i++){
P=E[i].parentNode;
H=P.innerHTML;
P.removeChild(E[i]);
P.innerHTML=H;
}}}

save the file as a JavaScript file (NoIEActivate.js)

Then type in a single line before the tag of your html file.

Thsi is very simple and also working

I developed a fix named "jActivating". This script works with object, embed and applet elements; compatible with IE (6+) and Opera (9+); supports MIME types text/HTML and application/xhtml+xml; released into public domain :D
