"saving us" from scripting files

[The Kat]

Checking a my nearly complete site this evening, a friend found that the
"join email list" function was blocked by a Microsoft warning that the script
was being blocked and was not allowed to run. Has anyone else had that
problem> Is there a way to get around it.

You guys are going to have so much fun with this site... I've ALMOST gotten
it up twice, then noticed a really annoying problem - a text overlap, box too
small, form mutated... Today it's a rearrangement of the page order (a
vindication of my original layout that was voted off the island). Good thing
I'm blond or ALL the gray from this would show ... in what I haven't pulled
out in frustration.

Are all web pages this hard to do?

The patient says "it hurts when I do this, doc", and the doc says "don't do
that".

If your friend is "previewing" your site from the Publisher file itself,
then you can get a warning when the page/site loads on your computer in IE.
There is a yellow warning bar at the top of the IE window that you can click
to allow the page to load. When you actually publish and upload your site,
then this doesn't necessarily happen. As I understand it when you load the
page on a local machine in preview mode, the active script is looking to the
internet for information, not the Publisher file or the local computer. The
security setting is there to prevent malicious code from importing something
to your local machine, that is unintended, and thus the warning.

If indeed you have posted the site on the net, and your friend is getting
the warning, they may still have the option of "enabling" the page to load.

You can't control the computer settings on individual computers. If you use
a script that doesn't work after posting it, then you will need to find
different script....or...don't do that.
