Hi.. I’m a very new member of this forum and only a beginner on scripting. Please forgive me if this subject has already been answered.

When I surf on the internet i visit a lot of web pages which includes javascript codes and my web browser (IE) sometimes warns me (“[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]To help your security,Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options [/COLOR]“) some times without any warning lets the page to run javascript. When i click to see the options and [COLOR=Sienna]What is the risk?[/COLOR], i see such a message [COLOR=DarkOrange]“What is active content and why does Internet Explorer restrict it?
Active content is content that relies on either ActiveX controls or computer code called a script to work properly. Examples include stock tickers, video, and animated content on Web pages.

These programs can, however, malfunction or give you content you don’t want. In some cases, these programs can be used to collect information from your computer in ways you might not approve of, possibly damage data on your computer, install software on your computer without your consent, or allow someone else to control your computer remotely. Given these risks, you should only install these programs if you completely trust the publisher.

If a Web page you visit tries to display active content, you will see the message below (click the message for more information).”[/COLOR]

Ofcourse this message scares me and i don’t let the page run mostly..

I’m designing a web page and i use some java script codes and when i prewiev the pages to test i get same [COLOR=Navy]protection message [/COLOR]… I would like to know how to solve this problem. How come some pages scripts are allowed but some of them are not?? What do i have to do to avoid my script codes to be bloked by clients browser?
Thank you very much

This will not be a problem once you have uploaded them to your server.

Locally, to stop the protection message add this comment directly below your DOCTYPE as in this example...
[color=navy]
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">[color=purple]
<!-- saved from url=(0017)http://mysite.com -->[/color]
[/color]

[color=navy]Where do you place this code?[/color][/quote]
Does this clarify it for you...
[color=navy]&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt;[color=purple]
&lt;!-- saved from url=(0017)http://mysite.com --&gt;[/color]
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;title&gt;&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"&gt;

&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
&lt;!--

--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
&lt;!--

//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/body&gt;

No you do not have to change anything. ?

Also note that...

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd

...is a part of the DOCTYPE and is not to be removed.

I suggest that you read the information here...
