Microstoft has recently put out a Security Update that seriously affects ActiveX controls with UI's (and Applets). This was the result of a patent infringement suit that Microsoft lost and was therefore forced to change the way ActiveX controls load. For more information on this you can start with
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912812 and for information on general fixes for this issue you can look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/activating_activex.asp.
With the HTML control that is used to edit WorkSite MP notes this requires that the user clicks the control to activate it; but since the control is in an iFrame if you don't click it right away the control doesn't always activate.
When the control does appear you will get a tool tip style message that says something like one of the following:
Please click this control to active this control
Please presss spacebar or enter to active this control
Luckily the fix is pretty easy. In the attached ZIP file are two files in the correct directory structure. The first file worksitemp/htmlcontrol/fulledit.jsp is a replacement of the existing file. It replaces the tags that include the control with a script include. The script itself, worksitemp/htmlcontrol/inc/insertCtrl.js inserts the control via document.write() calls (see the activating_activex article above for why).
