Ok, well, I have a site that using an activex control that you have to click on to activate.  I used a javascript to stop the click prompt, and it worked great.  I just tested it on an IE6 machine and found out that every time the page refreshes it gives a popup that asks if the user wants to run the control.  If I take the javascript out it's fine.  This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen, and those messages are not thrown by any other browser or even IE7.  What can I do to trap this?  Here is the

<SCRIPT language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
actx = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < actx .length; i++)
{
    actx [i].outerHTML = actx [i].outerHTML;
}
</SCRIPT>

Well, here is another attempt to post a screen shot of the specific message I am getting.  I tried to post it a little while ago, but it must have gone off into oblivion.

I narrowed it down a little more, I know that it's an activex control for RDP client that is connected when you login.  When the javascript touches it is what triggers the message, but without touching it I can't activate it to remove that stupid click box.  Anyone have any ideas?

Have you checked your settings in IE about ActiveX?  You might have to relax your security settings to allow ActiveX to install and run without any prompting

It's not an option.  This site is used by local government systems that most of the users don't have rights to adjust the browser settings on.  I did check my settings though, and by default all the systems allow scripting and enabled signed activex controls without prompting.  A tried changing all the settings on my test box to see if I could make it go away, but made no progress.  It's starting to look like this is just part of the IE6 "experience".  In IE7 and Firefox it's not even an issue.
Does anyone have a work around in code?  All I need to do is find a way to activate the control from code so that it doesn't require the click to be enabled, while not causing this popup.
