Displaying Images as "object" Elements on IE 10
This section provides a tutorial example on how IE 10 renders images specified in 'object' elements. Result is very poor comparing with Firefox 26.
To see how IE (Internet Explorer) handles the <object> elements with image files as data values, I opened object_gif.html created in the previous section with IE 10 and got a warning message first, "Internet Explorer restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls. [Allow blocked content]" near the page buttom.
I clicked the "Allow blocked content" button. A dialog box showed up saying: "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?"
I clicked the "Yes" button. "Windows Media Player" got executed with the Yahoo! image displayed.
I closed "Windows Media Player". IE displayed the final result of object_gif.html as:
What I learned from the result:
However, when I uploaded object_gif.html to my Apache Web server and open it remotely, IE 10 was giving me a new error message: "Internet Explorer has blocked this site from using an ActiveX control in an unsafe manner. As a result, this page might not display correctly."
So what is the difference between opening object_gif.html as a local file and as a remote Web page? Why IE behaves differently? I have no idea.
Comparing with Firefox 26, IE 10 behaves poorly on rendering images provided in "object" elements.
