Another Solution to EOLAS Issue

Jason Garber of sixtwothree.org has a post discussing another way to avoid the "click to activate and use this control" issue. His method uses Javascript to rewrite the DOM with the same object and param elements, and apparently it works.

He has an updated version (less discussion of how it works) at: http://sixtwothree.org/blog/archives/2006/05/20/activateactivex-11.

I need to run another set of tests to see how it works with diffferent screen readers, but the Hangman game in the last post uses it and it seems OK at first blush.
