Researching the reasons for embed.js (openlaszlo-3.1 version) not working with my (older) IE browser I now see that this is due to use of <embed> rather than <object> in the written embed script created by embed.js.
Now embed.js might be edited to cope with older browsers, but I wonder if using <embed></embed> is the correct solution rather than standarding on <object></object> which is compatible with most browsers. I have found two interesting embed scripts which might be adapted to be compatible with embed.js. The first is flashobject, reported in earlier thread .. here ... http://blog.deconcept.com/flashobject. Also flash satay here .. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ ... Another neat approach which I have just found is here .. http://blog.gilluminate.com/?b=20041208120812 This embed script works in my IE browser and also Firefox. Here is an example of embed script which I have tested with copy-of-hello.lzx. // =========================================== <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab# version=6,0,0,0" width="100%" height="100%" name="lzapp" id="lzapp" bgcolor="#ffffff" salign="lt"> <param name="movie" value="copy-of-hello.lzx?lzt=swf" /> <!--[if !IE]> <--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="copy-of-hello.lzx?lzt=swf" width="100%" height="100%"> Description of Flash Content for screen readers </object> <!--> <![endif]--> <!--[if IE]> Description of Flash Content for screen readers <![endif]--> </object> // =========================================== So there are several cross-browser solutions to draw from as embed.js evolves.
