MS has long pulled the plug on netscape plugins. E.g., the <embed> tag is
practically no longer supported. You need to use the <object> tag for IE,
for example:
<OBJECT
ID="SqueakOCX Control"
WIDTH=1024 HEIGHT=768
ALIGN=center BORDER=2
CLASSID="CLSID:2BE9C39E-8386-4435-B337-FCDAD8EAB006"
CODEBASE="http://www.squeakland.org/installers/SqueakPluginInstaller.exe">
<PARAM name="src"
value="http://www.squeakland.org/projects/EToy-Template.001.pr">
</OBJECT>
Note that the easiest way of dealing with projects from webpages is to link
your project through Mike's scriptlet at Squeakland.org, e.g., refer to
something like:
http://www.squeakland.org/project.jsp?<yourUrlHere>
This will figure out what browser, platform, etc you're using and "do the
right thing".
Cheers,
- Andreas
