| 527248 | 2007-02-22 22:00:00 | Hi all! When I am messing around attempting to 'make' a webpage, when I open it in IE (v7.0.5730.11) I always get this message: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer stopped this site from installing an ActiveX control on your computer. Click here for options." I looked around IE settings and couldn't really see anything. But I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for! Now I guess I don't know much about building webpages either now, as the 'blank' webpage I always start off with (just <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Blank</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY><h1>Blah</h1></BODY> </HTML>) also 'sets off' this 'warning'. I can see nothing the webpage is 'calling'. No JS, no CSS, nothing! Any advice would be welcome, as this bl*@dy warning is driving me batty! Er, ok, battier! I thank you! Many regards, The Cell :D BTW - I try a webpage in various different browsers, but it's just IE that keeps giving this warning. |

| 527249 | 2007-02-22 22:04:00 | It might be under advanced / security, the 1st and 2nd option (or one of them). Did u click on click here for options to see what it said? |

| 527250 | 2007-02-23 00:01:00 | Thanks Speedy Gonzales. Er, I'm guessing you mean 'Tools' - 'Internet Options' then either the 'Security' tab or 'Advanced' tab!? Well had a peek through. It looks like if I wanted to do 'something' to the ActiveX through the Security tab I would have to 'customise' the settings. Little nervous on that one! I can see me 'looseing the interweb'! LOL On the Advanced tab I can see nothing at all to do with ActiveX. As for the 'Click here for options' well: "Allow blocked content..." "What's the risk?" ------------------------ "More information" is all I get! Many regards, The Cell :D |

| 527251 | 2007-02-23 00:12:00 | Look under tools/internet options/security tab. Click on custom level. It'll be one of the options under internet, or local intranet Well depending on what the site is and whats in it, the risk can be high if u disable this and let it run. |

| 527253 | 2007-02-23 16:55:00 | Speedy Gonzales! I thank you. I found the settings, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. pctek! I always use Notepad, as I prefer to 'start from scratch'. I also find it far easier to debug when I know exactly what and where the possible problem could be. I once used MS Word and saved it as a webpage. It had 10 lines of text on it (as I was just starting it) but when I went back to edit it I got a bit of a shock. 80 odd lines of code alone behind the scenes!! Where the heck did all that crap come from?? Any way, I now use Notepad and a bunch of previously saved and known to work, stuff, and work that way. Many regards, The Cell :D |
