The problem is the automatic interaction of embedded objects within the
current document. As long as the object doesn't allow interaction
automatically from within the current document it doesn't violate the
patent. Which is why you have to embed the object from an external
source (a linked js file) using some kind of programming (meaning it
isn't automatic and isn't integrated).
This script attempts to do that by just re-inserting the object in it's
current position from an external js file, and this does go through any
object type (it just goes through all object tags).
Geoff Stearns has mentioned that this method may drop some params
though, so I'm not sure this will work as is (or as I hoped it would).

Would it make sense for this to work with all Active X Objects? The idea is
to override object activation by rewriting the objects after the document is
loaded? Is this a hole in the activation process, where it will only force
activation when the page is being initialized? Objects written after the
page is loaded slip through?

I didn't want to have to redefine all the stuff that has already been
defined in the html object. So I made this: :-)

A super tiny js file include and a stylesheet takes care of all object
activation. It's a bit brute force, but it should get the job done if
you are looking for a quick fix and are using static embedded html. If
anyone has any ideas on how to make this more robust, please let me
know. :-)

you could do this with flashobject really easily.
just call fo.write() whenever you want and it will replace the object
you target with your flash movie.

I prefer solutions that try to hide IE's lack of conformity, like
Dean Edwards's IE 7 script:

There are just too many installations to realistically ignore them.
Speaking of hacking on IE, is there a way to prevent an object from
loading? By that I mean, I want to use Object tags to embed a Swf,
but I don't want it to download or load in the background until I
tell it to via a script interaction (vbscript or javascript). Will
hiding it via css do the trick, or will I need to take further steps
to keep it from loading?
Thanks,
