Disable IE’s Click to Activate and Use This Control
UPDATE: SWFObject appears to be a better way to manage click to active and use this control now. Please use SWFObject instead. SWFObject Homepage
That’s it, problem solved! Enjoy!

Credit for the ELO (Encapsulated Script Object) goes to Robert Nyman at http://robertnyman.com, used by permission in Roots.
eolas.js has this line:
objects[i].outerHTML = objects[i].outerHTML;
That’s a no-op. Meaning, that script does nothing.
Hi folks!
I developed other fix to disable IE’s Click here for active and use this control (and Opera browser).
http://jactivating.sourceforge.net
@Anon, the point of that line in the Eolas file is to dynamically add the object back into the page, which then bypasses the “Click to activate” problem. It’s not a no-op.
I included both the jscripts in my page.
And page does not display anything. Blank page appears.
After I removed both included scripts page is visible again.
These scripts do nothing in IE7 – ‘click to activate’ is still enabled. jActivating, however, works very well
For some reason I can not see any effect of ELO script in my IE7 browser.
Thanks for the link to jActivating. Fantastic!
There is a very easy way to embed flash etc. without the stupid click here to activate. Use javascript to actually embed the file! If you use an in your html it will ask you to click to activate. If you use Javascript to replace a div for example with the .swf it will not ask you to click. Check my page out, all the episodes are .swf files and none of them will ask you to click first
The media player playing the mp3’s will, but that’s using an < embed > tag. I actually didn’t even know about this, I just updated my code to be smaller and easier for me to administer and wow it doesn’t ask for click to activate
Check this link out, it’s the SWFObject method of embedding. This is the one that does not require manual enabling of the embeds. http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
