Do you have script on the page that does it for you, then? The IE
auto-download is keyed off the charset (unless you add script, which works
great either way). I would be interested in seeing a page that proved this
wrong, since the docs and some private testing found this to not work
without script.
The script would look like this (for Arabic):
<html xmlns:IE>
<head>
<style>
@media all {
IE\:clientCaps {behavior:url(#default#clientCaps)}
}
</style>
<script>
function window.onload()
{
var bAra = false;
var sAra = '';
var sID = "{76C19B38-F0C8-11CF-87CC-0020AFEECF20}";
var sComp = "componentid";
bAra = oCComp.isComponentInstalled(sAra,sComp);
// if Hebrew support is unavailable, install it
if (!bAra)
{
oComp.addComponentRequest(sAraID,sComp);
bAra = oComp.doComponentRequest();
}
:
}
</script>
</head>
<body BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
:
<IE:clientCaps ID="oComp" />
:
</body>
</html>
The only thing bad about it is that it if scripts are turned off, you lose
the feature.
