Even if you disable ActiveX in IE behaviors will work. You'll have to disable ActiveScripting (JScript/VBScript) to disable behaviors. You can also use a user style sheet to disable behaviors. Behaviors are not the only solution but they have one important feature that is hard to achieve efficiently without using behaviors and that is that the element is can be initialized when it is started, ended or when the document is loaded. Normal Javascript is usually initiated when the page is loaded and this is too late for most real world scenarios. One can initialize the element earlier but that requires inline script elements or polling. HTC stands for HTML components and this file ending was initially used for scriptlets. Scriptlets are a specific plugin type which is used with the object element in HTML. erik -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
