Active Content Developer Center

Active Content Developer Center
Nove m be r 8, 2007 ­ Important update: As a result of recent t ec hnology licenses acquired by Microsoft, the "click to activate" res t ric t ions are no longer mandatory. Microsoft plans to remove the ac t ivat ion behavior from Internet Explorer in April 2008. Mic ros oft has indicated that developers will not need to make any modific at ions to existing websites; controls will function as they did before the activation change was made in April 2006. For the latest informat ion about the update and information about preview releases, pleas e read the Microsoft Developer Network article, Information for developers about Internet Explorer (www. adob e.c omht tp: // ms dn.mic ros of t .c om/ ieupdat e/) . Read more in the FAQ > (www. adob e.c om/ devnet/ ac tivec ont ent / faq.ht ml) Until this change is implemented by Microsoft, the Active Content Developer Center remains your source for information and resources relat ed to the modifications to Internet Explorer that Microsoft announc ed in 2005. These changes may affect the use of active content in some web pages. The update to Internet Explorer was released as an updat e to users in April 2006. For most web pages hosting active content, users will notice little or no c hange. However, using the JavaScript modifications detailed below, developers can modify their existing websites so that their user ex perienc e is not impacted by the changes that Microsoft made to Internet Explorer.

Us e r experience in the updated Internet Explorer

Mic ros oft has released updates to Internet Explorer that changes how it handles active content such as that viewed in Adobe Flash Player, Authorware Player, Shockwave Player, and Adobe Reader, as well as Sun Java, Apple QuickTime, RealNetworks RealPlayer, and other Ac tiveX controls. Ac tive content that is embedded in HTML pages in certain ways will not rec eive user input (for example, keyboard or mouse events) until the us er clicks either to activate or continue loading the control. To learn more about what types of interaction are blocked, read the MSDN art ic le, Activating ActiveX Controls (www. adob e.c omht tp: // ms dn.mic ros of t .c om/ lib rary/ def ault . as p? url= / work s hop/ author/ dht ml/overview/ac tivat ing_ac t ivex.as p) . To see what users experience when they view Flash content with the new brows er, watch the following demo: View demo: Viewing Flash Files in Internet Explorer (www. adob e.c om/ devnet/ ac tivec ont ent / art ic les / javas c ript_s olut ion2. html) There is a way to deal with this behavior. Developers can modify their HTML pages so that interactive controls can immediately respond to us er input. We expect that many developers will want to make content "ac tive" without requiring the user first to click.
