The site http://www.rnsoft.com/products/iewebfix/
describes a "fix" to Web pages necessitated by a court case Microsoft has recently lost. Apparently it dates back to a patent on "in-lined" content of the type produced in Web browsers by the <DEFANGED_object>, <DEFANGED_embed> and <DEFANGED_applet> pages. This patent was apparently infringed by Web browsers and Microsoft, is having to preface each invocation of such content by some sort of disclaimer. This will mean that pages having this sort of content will not display unless the reader dismisses these dialogs.
To which countries does this patent apply? USA only, or also Europa, and what about the rest of the world? Egon -- egonw@sci.kun.nl PhD on Molecular Representation in Chemometrics Nijmegen University http://www.cac.sci.kun.nl/people/egonw/ GPG: 1024D/D6336BA6
