Is it correct?</P><P>There is another difference between those 2 files : opendoc takes advantage of the QlikView pluggable protocol and directly set the url of an iframe to "qvp://documentURL", which makes IE to show the plugin inside the iframe, while opendoc_fix explicitly creates the plugin with an &lt;object&gt; tag with the QV plugin id, and sets the qvp url of the document inside a &lt;param&gt; tag.</P><P>Does it make any difference in the end?
