Hi All,

I am having issue with IE and Javascript.

I have a AdobeShockwave file which fires an event after movie is completed.
This event can be captured by Javascript/VB Script.

I am able to capture the events in the Debug mode only using IE developer tools.

If I don't place a Breakpoint, functions are not fired. below is the code which I have tried

Please help me....

HTML

<html>
<head>
    <title>Example</title>
	
	<script FOR="DcrObj" EVENT="externalEvent(aParam)" LANGUAGE="javascript">
		alert("Check this out: javascript ");
    </script>
	
	<script FOR="DcrObj" EVENT="externalEvent(aParam)" type="text/javascript">
		alert("Check this out: text/javascript");
    </script>
	
	<script type="text/javascript">
    	function onEventHandler(event)
    	{
    	    alert("Hurrey New option::: attachEvent");
    	}
    	window.onload = function()
    	{
    	    var yourActiveXObject = document.getElementById('DcrObj');
    	    if(typeof(yourActiveXObject) === 'undefined' || yourActiveXObject === null){
    	        alert('Unable to load ActiveX');
    	        return;
    	    }
    	    else
    	    {
    	        if (window.addEventListener) {  // all browsers except IE before version 9
    	            yourActiveXObject.addEventListener('externalEvent',onEventHandler,true)
    	        }
    	        if (window.attachEvent) {   // IE before version 9
    	            yourActiveXObject.attachEvent('externalEvent', onEventHandler);
    	        }
    	    }
    	}
	</script>	
</head>

Bit hard to say without the SWF on hand to test with.
While wrapping your code with <pre lang='HTML'> ..content.. <pre> tags, I noticed that you don't have a doctype tag in your code. From memory, ommitting this tag can alter the mode that IE selects to use in order to display your page. I don't know that I think it's and especially likely culprit in this case, however, you should have a <!doctype html> tag as the first element in the file (assuming HTML5) - in cases of older versions of html, you should look-up and apply the relevant doctype declaration.

Can you see any Errors in Console Window of Developer Tool?

I'm agree with enhzflep. You should correct this error : <body >
It will not solve your problem but this added space can cause some errors
