I posted a message about this to this list about 24 hours ago; however, it does not appear in the list archives, so here it is again. But the short summary is "yes, it's not working right for me either." <snip> As you all probably know, Microsoft just released a new test version of IE which is "Eolas-compatible", along with advice as to how to modify scripts and applet calls to avoid getting the "Press OK to continue loading this page" popup. http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/activexchanges.asp This method involves document.write()ing the <applet> or <object> tag from an external JS file. I have put together a small test page which will do this for both Flash and Java: http://www.gerv.net/hacking/eolas/ I believe that I have followed the method given in the document released by Microsoft (and Apple, Real and Macromedia.) I have loaded this page in the version of IE downloaded from Microsoft's site. http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/7/b/a7b11561-95e3-4d94-b1b3-9135935bb9b5/IE6UPDv01.exe One would expect no popups; however, the popups continue to appear. I have tested it on a single Win2K machine and also a WinXP SP1 machine. Can anyone else confirm that my test still produces popups? Is it a problem with my test, or the new IE? Gerv
