AWFix for ReadURL(javascript:...) bug

You might benefit from a project I began today. I thought I would wrap all I 
know about Authorware's IE7+ ReadURL(javascript:...) bug into an easy to 
implement cross-browser solution called AWFix - http://awfix.googlecode.com .

 Developed in the same spirit as Flash projects like SWFFix (now SWFObject), 
UFO, and sIFR; AWFix is implemented as an external javascript include and html 
file.

 To use AWFix:
 1. Go to http://awfix.googlecode.com
 2. Download the 2 files awfix.js and iframe.htm
 3. Include these 2 files in the same folder as your .aam file
 4. Add <scr ipt type="text/javascript"
src="awfix.js"></scr ipt> to the html 
page your .aam is embedded in

 I would really appreciate any testing, comments or bug reports you may have.

 I have chosen to license the project under an open source MIT license so it is

suitable for 3rd party commercial use.

 [AWFix also removes the "Click to Activate" active content behavior
of 
Internet Explorer.]
