Since Microsoft lost a legal battle on how they display multimedia conent in their browser, they’ve had to the change the way these content displays on screen. Now a user has to click these elements to start playing the flash animation.

This affects Flash files, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Java , Adobe Acrobat among others. It means users have to click the object first in order to activate its functions.

To fix the problem, please follow these steps:

1) Just below the last <object> in your HTML page, insert the following Javascript:

2) Open a new document in Notepad or your HTML editor, and copy & paste the following content into it:

theObjects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < theObjects.length; i )
{
theObjects[i].outerHTML = theObjects[i].outerHTML;
}

3) Save this file as fixit.js
