RE: FLASH: Javascript:

[Jason Brown]

The javascrip: 'protocol' is actually a pseudo protocol i.e. it's not part

of the official HTML or JavaScript specification (or at least wasn't

originally).


Support for it was programmed in by browser evelopers to enable debugging of

their javascript support, and was never taken out - so has become part of

every day for developers. It's fine in virtuallly all js compliant browsers

(it's the browser that processes it, not flash)

Due to a mistake in my code, I was loading a version of a swf for IE Mac

which used the Javascript: protocol ... however, it worked ... it is my

understanding (and consternation) that it is not supposed to:

The browser is IE 4.01 under OS 8.6.


Is it the Flash 4 plug-in or 8.6's OT that allows this or what? The movie

in question is on a password protected site; I can upload it elsewhere if

someone wants to confirm this.
