Users on my forums are having an "Allow ActiveX" Yes/No popup whenever someone puts a SWF in there Signature. How do I fix this?

This has been a problem for all sites using flash a while now. MS lost a lawsuit although the plaintive had no way of benefiting from a win so we all got screwed. A google will turn up several methods for dealing with it.

The method I use is to include the following line after the last active x control on a page.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="/iefix.js"></script>

iefix.js is in the root folder and contains

objects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
{
    objects.outerHTML = objects.outerHTML;
}

Never tried it with wwf, but I'd put the script line in footer.asp.

Allowing users to upload flash is a disaster waiting to happen though.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

I actually am not letting them upload anything, they are simply using forum code [flash] and [/flash] tags, and it is causing this issue. Ill try that code out but is there any way to remove the flash forum code from allowing this only in signatures or some other solution incase this dont work.

Is anyone else having this issue?
