// | *** ABSTRACT ***                                      |
// | This script is a workaround to an update in Microsoft |
// | Internet Explorer that prevents automatic interaction |
// | with ActiveX controls from a web page.  The update to |
// | Internet Explorer forces the user to click on the     |
// | control to "activate" it before it can be interacted  |
// | with.  The Internet Explorer update was made by the   |
// | vendor in response to a patent infringement lawsuit   |
// | that encompasses ActiveX controls.                    |
// |                                                       |
// | This script is also compatible with web browsers that |
// | do not support "getElementById" in JavaScript.        |
// |-------------------------------------------------------|
// | *** USAGE ***                                         |
// | The workaround is implemented in three parts:         |
// |                                                       |
// |   1) This script is linked to in the header of the    |
// |      web page.                                        |
// |                                                       |
// |   2) A <div> tag is created with an id attribute:     |
// |          <div id="UniqueDivID"></div>                 |
// |                                                       |
// |   3) A script is embedded after (or inside) the <div> |
// |      tag that calls the function WorkaroundEmbed      |
// |      (below) with the <div> tag ID (from Step 2       |
// |      above) and the code to embed the active content  |
// |      passed as parameters as follows:                 |
// |          WorkaroundEmbed('UniqueDivID','<embed...');  |
// |-------------------------------------------------------|
// | *** MORE INFORMATION ***                              |
// | More information can be found on the vendor's web     |
