// msoft activex controls no longer start up 'activated' after april 11/06 (require focus to activate)
// workaround requires object/embed tags to be included in external js
// hence this func (document.write call must be made from externally included .js file)... sb
// note: if 'allow script debugging' is *not* checked in ie settings, you will still get the activiation prompt!
function embed(tag){
    
    document.write(tag);
