Probably can be ignored[I guess] but it would be better if it did not happen. It is nice to get no errors when validating.One less thing to worry about...
yes good old internet explorer, I finished uploading pages to a website i am working on containing quite a few interactive flash menus, etc, to my server everything looking okay.
That was until I tried viewing website in I.E. and got the message click to activate and use this control.
Anyone having this problem will know how annoying it is, it meant any viewer wanting to use the flash menus had to click on the menu with an annoying rectangle, round it each time they visited the page again.
Thankfully a quick fix was found on internet, but again it proved how you have to adapt your work to the i.e. browser, firefox is a much more likeable browser to use.
This 'click to activate' is actually not the fault of Microsoft and IE. It was the company Eolas that claimed that Michael Doyle who is the president of Eolas invented the embedding part and sued Micrsoft for loading activex components the way they always did.
The lawsuit was won by Eolas and we al suffer for it!
Fair point Martin, it just seems in my experience that I suffer more exasperation from Microsoft products directly or indirectly than I do others. regards
