i-drop content does not work in 64-bit Internet ExplorerIssueWhen you were using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer to browse web pages that contain i-drop content, the i-drop indicator was not visible. SolutionThere are two reasons why i-drop content might not work in a 64-bit Internet Explorer browser: Note: In the 64-bit version of Windows XP, the default browser is 32-bit Internet Explorer. In the 64-bit version of Vista, the default browser is 64-bit Internet Explorer. You can use the Start menu shortcuts to launch the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer.
Attention i-drop Content Providers: You need to update your web pages to dynamically load the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the i-drop ActiveX control. A JavaScript code sample that can be used to dynamically load the correct version of the control depending on the browser version is shown below. This sample is used on www.autodesk.com/idrop. <code_begin> <head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function showchair()
{
activex = document.createElement("object");
document.body.appendChild(activex); //Checking appVersion to load appropriate ActiveX control (32-bit or 64-bit)
var appVersionName = navigator.appVersion;
var index = appVersionName.indexOf ("x64");
if(index != -1 )
{
//clsid for 64-bit control
activex.classid="clsid:32290CD1-D585-4803-AF20-F16E20FF377A";
}
else
{
//clsid for 32 bit control
activex.classid="clsid:21E0CB95-1198-4945-A3D2-4BF804295F78";
} activex.package="http://www.autodesk.com/us/idrop/chair.xml";
activex.background="http://www.autodesk.com/us/idrop/background.jpg";
activex.width="120";
activex.height= "119";
activex.proxyrect = "0, 0, 120, 119";
activex.griprect = "0, 0, 120, 119";
activex.validate="1"; }
