We've mentioned before that it's never a good idea to include any items on your Web page that require a plug-in (such as Flash or RealAudio) without also providing a link to the plug-in. You don't want to assume that your visitors will have the required software to view your page because they might not. Microsoft generally believes that the browser itself should contain enough code to run any scripts, applications, and embedded items without loading plug-ins, and it uses ActiveX controls to handle these types of events. Netscape, however, agrees with the idea that browsers should be light and plug-ins should be used to handle outside events.
