Not applicable to execCommand

In IE8 and below, you cannot use execCommand from JavaScript to disable automatic hyperlinking, because execCommand takes a string command identifier, and no string is mapped to IDM_AUTOURLDETECT_MODE.

A new command constant AutoUrlDetect is supported in IE9, allowing script to disable automatic hyperlinking as follows:  

    document.execCommand("AutoUrlDetect", false, false)
