Re: [videoblogging] Re: Help with ActiveX

tech support 101... that's great if it works for you, but you are only demonstrating how this and the eolas problem are separate issues on YOUR browser now test it with the actual user and get back to me ;) how do you know you are getting the same error message? how do you know s/he is only up against one issue? how do you know that they have the updateded IE?  the odds are that they do not. the real issue here is to find out the EXACT error message it may indeed be that the person is running into the eolas problem, but I would not assume that every IE activeX issue is fixed by popups - first i would check their settings - many corps turn these things off (remember those custom IM install packs - lovely) Michael Verdi wrote: What settings are you changing? I went to internet options > security > custom level - and changed all the active x stuff - and still get the error. If you look at the source code on Nathan's page he's using object and embed tags. <object CLASSID="" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" CODEBASE=""http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab "></p> <param name="SRC" VALUE="http://www.bicycle-sidewalk.com/vlog/b-s_4_20_2006.mov">         </param> <param name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="false">         </param> <param name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="true">         <embed SRC=""http://www.bicycle-sidewalk.com/vlog/b-s_4_20_2006.mov"> http://www.bicycle-sidewalk.com/vlog/b-s_4_20_2006.mov" AUTOPLAY="false" CONTROLLER="true" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256"></embed><br /> </param></object> That's the kind of code that will produce the ActiveX pop-up thing. That's what the popup maker and vPIP plug-in address.

I was getting the same error message when microsoft released the security patch and since I used Freevlog new pop up maker I am not getting the message anymore..... --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com , Markus Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: exactly!

Their web browser changed, and they're going to get those popups on other sites as well. Then point them to a real web browser, like Firefox. --Stephanie On 4/21/06, Nathan Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: An avid watcher of my stuff dropped me this comment: Hey Nathan, do you realise you've got ActiveX employed on your Web site? It's causing these really annoying pop-up messages to appear in my browser every time I access your page. I use IE 6. Can you do something about this? Can anyhow send me in the right direction.
