Click To Activate issue with modeless dialog popup..

[Former Member]

I have a customer that is having the annoying "click to activate control" for applets in IE. I've been able to fix it for thier normal pages with a fix I found on the internet (why re-invent the wheel right? ) , however they have a few "pop up" windows where they use the "window.showModelessDialog" method of opening a new window. For this window, my usual fix doesn't work...

I have a feeling that it has to do with opening the window as a modeless diaglog. Any ideas?

EDIT

I realize that this problem will go away in April of 08. However a significant number of clients machines will not be updated anytime soon (as they are not connected to the internet)

Doug,

You can remove the Windows update that put the lock on the active objects in the first place. I don't know the patch number off hand but I'm sure you can find it.
