How can I disable sp2 IE active content warning?
« on: November 06, 2004, 06:30:08 PM »
I'm sure I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Since installing WinXp Home sp2, when I preview web pages from Dreamweaver or Imageready the IE active content warning bar stops the content from loading, I have to click on the yellow warning bar to get the dialog and click on "Allow content", then another dialog opens where I have to confirm my selection. Tha'ts three extra click every time I want to preview a web page I'm designing. Additionally, some pages I view on the web that I know are safe also trigger this annoying new feature.

Anyone know how to disable or defeat this feature? I suspect it's somewhere in the registry?

Help?

Did you try to lower the security level settings in the control panel?

Thanks to people at Annoyances.org, Short Media, Ozzu Webmaster forums for the answer to my question.

To disable IE's active content warning, go to Internet Options>Advanced Tab, under Security section enable option "Allow active content to run in files on my computer". This will stop the warning when previewing web pages from Dreamweaver and Imageready, or other programs where your page has script for rollovers etc. This is not, however, a recommendation to leave this option enabled while surfing the net. Use your own judgement.

I'm not sure how it works with Dreamweaver or Imageready but when I'm working with rollover coding this works great:

 You don't have to disable active content security warnings it on your machine. This only happens with files viewed from your machine, IE doen't do this if the content comes off the web. You can fool IE into thinking it came from the web by putting the following code in the <head> section of your code:

<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->

Give it a try before you disable your protection.
