RNSoft's IEWebFix 1.1 Fixes Active Content
Display Issues in Updated MS Explorer 6
Arlington, VA, May 15, 2006 — RNSoft
President & CEO Ronald Northrip today announced the
immediate availability of IEWebFix version 1.1, a solution
to behavioral changes in the updated version of Internet
Explorer 6 released last month from Microsoft.
Mr. Northrip demonstrated the problem this morning at a
press briefing.
"Web developers have been integrating active content
elements into their websites -- like Flash Animations, QuickTime
Movies and Java Applets. Seamless integration with the rest
of the content on the page and the website has been the
hallmark of the best of them."
"But the new version of Explorer 6 that Microsoft
is distributing right now as SP1 breaks that seamlessness.
This is no longer in the ethereal realm of Beta software,
but in active distribution. There is no doubt in my mind
that some portion of the audience looking at your website
today will be using this browser."
"This is what the browser does. All active content
elements on the page are rendered but disabled. Next to
each element there is a tooltip-like box that prompts the
user to click to interact with the element. And if you've
got multiple on a single page the user has to activate each
one! Also, if the active content element actively seeks
the state of the computer (like where the mouse is) before
the user activates it, the user is prompted with a dialog
box, not just a simple tooltip."
The solution to this headache is a three step process.
First, the offending code must be extracted to an external
javascript file. Second, a link to the external file must
be added to the original page. Third, the extracted code
must be executed from within the original page as a javascript
function call.
"IEWebFix entirely automates this process," said
Mr. Northrip. "And not just for a single page -- for
the entire website!"
With a single click of a button IEWebFix scans the entire
contents of a website and generates a list of files with
offending codes. Then with another click the files are repaired.
IEWebFix scans and repairs HTML, XHTML, XML, ASP, JSP, PHP,
and CFM files.
