Blocked Active X content

S

Scott

Hi, I am using interactive buttons for menu items. When I run it on my
browser (IE 6.0 SP2 from the disk not a server) , it blocks the active part
of the control unless I allow active content. When I run other sites that I
am sure also use active content I do not get this , is this just because mine
is run from disk and the others served up from a server ?

Any ideas thanks in advance
Scott

The IE settings are granular, so other sites may be in the Internet zone
where you have it set to run signed ActiveX possibly. I am not certain which
zone disk based webs are shoved into, but I would wager you can open the
security on that zone without compromising your machine.

Correct. SP2 will block all active content running from files on your
computer.

In IE, go to Tools->Internet Options
Advanced Tab
Scroll down to Security
Tick "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"
Click OK

FP Interactive Buttons are not ActiveX
They are just images and JavaScript so they would not be blocked by the browser or SP2
(only the onmouse event image changes would not occur if a user has all scripting turned off)

If you are using another technology see

Correct. If you were able to run the other sites from your desktop, they would also fail to load the
ActiveX components as well under Windows XP SP2.

Hi. I've the same problem; It's dissapointing that MS can't provide button
functionality WITHOUT creating the error message... Is there a workaround to
use the buttons with no error message? Many thanks.

As stated earlier in this thread:

Advanced Tab
Scroll down to Security
Tick "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"

FYI

FP 2003 Interactive Buttons do not use active content or activeX
They are plain images and JavaScript

They work even w/ JavaScript disabled
(you just don't get the mouseover image changes)
