    Okay, here's the issue:
    
    There are many advisories and announcements have been made about the
    potential abuse of java, java-script, active-x, vb-scripts, and well,
    pretty much any active content in the major web browsers and across the
    HTML protocol.
    
    Never minding the minimal active exploitation actually being observed;
    
    While we know that most experts and consultants in the field will advise
    that active content be either blocked at the border, and/or turned off in
    the browser<s>, how many corporate gateway admins are actually blocking
    this as many advise?  How are corporations dealing with this e-commerce
    wise, and/or as regards business partners?
    
    Thanks,
    
    
    Ron DuFresne
