Hi list,
There's a way to use Evalscript in IE in a mac, I've used this recently in a
job for MTV here in Brazil. The diference between IE and LiveConnect browser
enabled is that IE pass the parameters to SW via <param> in the <object>
tag. So you can use document.write in javascript to write the parameters.
ps the name of <param> must be sw1,sw2...up to sw9
ex: <PARAM name="sw1" value="your_value">
best regards
