Frontpage 2003 javascript errors

J

Joe

I have a site where the javascript worked just fine in the preview in
Frontpage 2000, but gives errors in Frontpage 2003. It says that
access to a .htc file is denied. The file is there, and "preview in
browser" works just fine.

Any ideas?

1. What's the exact message?

2. How are you viewing the page when the error occurs?
For example:
o By choosing Preview in Browser, and thereby
browsing a local disk location?
o By choosing Preview in Browser, and thereby
browsing a local Web server?
o By browsing your published Web site using an
http:// URL?

3. What's the URL?

The message is "access is denied to: file///C:/location/filename.htc"

This file is referenced from a css.

It only fails when trying to preview directly in Frontpage 2003 - it
works perfectly when previewed in browser, whether as a file or
through the web server.

Frontpage creates a temp file, and this is what seems to be causing
the problem:

the temp file is:
file://C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary
Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir\pvw4.htm
When I open this file in the browser, it also fails. I've tried
putting a copy of the file "filename.htc" in this folder, but that
doesn't work either.

I've tried moving the reference to "filename.htc" out of the css, and
into the html, but that doesn't make any difference either.

Thanks for your help,
Joe

Many objects were "shut down" in FP 2003 preview (i.e. JAVA) for various reasons (including security) - sounds like .htc (DHTML) may
be one of them
- FP preview has never been a full fledged browser w/ respect to script objects
- always use File Preview in Browsers for pages containing scripts
