Using OBJECT tag

Internet Explorer can automatically download Cortona if it is not already installed. It gives the opportunity to reduce download size and choose Cortona as VRML viewer despite the fact that the other VRML browser is installed on the user's computer. This technology provides to developers the CAB file for HTML-based Internet installations of Cortona.
