IE Browser Changes

There has been alot of traffic on the various blogs regarding the anticipated changes to Internet Explorer.

After losing a court case this summer versus Eolas, Microsoft is making changes to its Internet Explorer browser regarding active content. Active content is defined as all plugins which includes, Java, Adobe Reader, any movie player, and Flash. The changes are that when a plugin loads, a popup message asking the user if it is okay to continue loading the contents of the page, for each individual applet, embed, and object tag elements in the web page.

Macromedia released a breeze presentation to summarize the changes.

Microsoft has created this website to summarize the changes, impact, and allow developers to download a test version of the new browser to see the impact.

It may be a good idea to test the new version of IE with all web applications.
