Microsoft Offers 60-Day ActiveX Reprieve | |
|

| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: BetaNews | Posted By: Michael Dragone | ||

Microsoft has acknowledged that a planned update to the way Internet Explorer renders multimedia on Web pages could cause some serious problems, and promised to give developers an extra two months to modify their pages to ensure a smooth transition. The Redmond company was forced to make the changes in response to a patent dispute with Eolas Technologies. The fix would affect the way ActiveX controls are displayed on Web pages, according to experts. If no changes were made, a user would have to "activate" an ActiveX or Java control before it would be usable. | ||

Diet: People will simply allow the active X controls to be downloaded when using IE.
Firefox poorly supports Active X through plug ins. You don't believe that the average user of IE will find it easier to keep using IE rather than install Firefox and plugins that may not work well? |
