Here is what I am using:
<!--[if IE]><noscript id="flash1"><![endif]--><object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0";
width="435" height="270" id="flash_home" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="flash.swf" />
<param name="loop" value="false" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffff" />
<embed src="flash.swf" loop="false" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff"
width="435" height="270" name="flash_home" align="middle"
allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; />
</object><!--[if IE]></noscript><script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript">writeExCtrl('flash1')</script><![endif]-->
and then in an exteranl .js file:
function writeExCtrl(id){
if(document.getElementById && document.getElementById(id) &&
document.getElementById(id).innerHTML){
document.write(document.getElementById(id).innerHTML.replace(/>/gi,
'>').replace(/</gi, '<'));
}
}
Basically, everything is the same as it always was for every browser other
than ie
using the ie conditional comments,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/ccomment_ovw.asp,
put in noscript tags around the call to the flash file. So if the user is
using ie and has javascript turned off, they will still see the flash, but
will have to click on it to enable it. This is as good as it can get for a
non javascript ie user.
If they do have javascript, the function reads the innerHTML of the noscript
tag and writes it out to the page and all is good.
It might be possible to get a bit more specific on the conditional comments,
like perhaps only targeting ie6, but I am not sure if microsoft will be
rolling out this "fix" to ie 5 or not, so I have bee playing it safe for
now.
Can anyone answer this:
What happens if a user doesn't have javascript enabled in their browser
for the recommended Macromedia solution (see link:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html) to
this whole Active X debacle ?
???
Please answer this if you can. It has me stressed.
Thanks,
Stephen.
