Recently, there has been some discussions on the famous "Click to activate this control" which appears for those who have the latest IE browser. This was mostly in regards to Flash file and the use of a javascript function to bypass this restriction. Today, I inserted the following code in a ASPX page and found that even with a Microsoft control, this is applicable.

<OBJECT id="VIDEO" width="320" height="240" CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"type="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="http://www.myurl.com/Streaming/000010.wmv">
<PARAM NAME="SendPlayStateChangeEvents" VALUE="True">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="1">
</OBJECT>

So, as this one is not a Flash file, we cannot use the javascript function to bypass the restriction. Is there anyone who found a similar way to bypass this restriction with the Windows Media Player?
