Okay this has strayed off the OP's topic but... The JS seems to just be writing the object tag to the page (which is invalid HTML btw). This was originally recommended when Microsoft was being dragged through the courts over the breech of patent re: ActiveX. MS was told to remove the functionality. The trick was to have a script do it, therefore getting around the patent. But MS settled out of court (I believe) and the functionality was never removed from IE. Which means the script is pointless, and forces the end user to have JS enabled. This is of course impossible on some devices which support Flash but not JS, and I can't see any good reason for it, unless I've missed something.
Quirks mode means the browser is having to "guess" how to render the content as it has invalid content based on the DOCTYPE used. Really bad practice if you want to maintain future browser compatability.
