Office 2003 or earlier do not install the support required to make webcal links active.

You must visit the site using a version of IE to have the multiple versions launch.
You can now run IE8, IE7 and IE6 at the same time. No overly complicated installs required. Very simple to install and use. You do not have to install multiple versions of IE to get this service to run.

FYI – The reason someone would want to do this is for testing purposes.

Users can interact with such controls after activating their user interfaces. Basically, IE blocked flash from running right-away. A dot-border box with the phrase “Click to activate and use this control” would appear if your mouse hovered-over the flash object. Activating the flash object would require a single click.

Lawsuits followed, Microsoft lost. Here’s the ironic part…

Windows Vista (new OS from Windows) is setting to be released soon, so there is a promotional site showcasing all new features that Vista will offer.
http://www.seewindowsvista.com/
The site listed above loads in the following javascript:
//work-around for IE "click to activate" object
var objects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
{
objects[i].outerHTML = objects[i].outerHTML;
}
The javascript listed above, is a work-around for “Click to activate and use this control” function initiated several months ago by Microsoft.
