Subject: Re: [cgmo-webcgm] Example use of DATA with no PARAM


Don,

Thanks for the results of your investigation.  Per the discussion in this 
morning's telecon, we want to verify:

1.) Is the description and test case valid, in the sense that it conforms 
to HTML (and WebCGM) rules?  I.e., is this a standard-conforming workaround 
for the <object> data/param bug of IE.  (Apparently it would only work for 
a single metafile per HTML document, since the onload handler is on the 
HTML <body>.)

2.) can other implementations successfully execute it, perhaps with a 
little modification like Don did?

Forrest, Ulrich, Benoit -- we are particularly interested in your take on 
this approach to getting access to the metafile before it is first displayed.

(All -- Does that accurately summarize what additional info we decided to 
solicit from the implementors and TC members?)

-Lofton.
