Block Active X on Browser Preview (~!@#$%^&*)

[BiggyRat]

Hello again...

Whenever I attempt to preview web page design changes in my browser (IE7), the Block Active X header appears at the top of the browser window...warning me about possible malicious content...asking me to click for options...& then giving me the option to allow blocked content (which I always opt for, since I'm attempting to see what my design changes look like in Internet Explorer). It does this EVERY TIME !!!

This only happens w/ my browser while working inside Dreamweaver (MX 2004). For normal, daily, regular ol' web surfin' activities...it doesn't happen.

How can I eliminate this when working in Dreamweaver? (as it is very annoying, to say the least).

Thanks,

rat of the biggliest

Get rid of ActiveX controls? That also has the advantage that you site will be usable by the other 30% of your audience.

Is it an 'Active X' warning or an 'Active Content' warning (which is typically generated by JavaScript content).

If the latter, it is caused by default browser settings blocking JavaScript from running on the local machine.

See Enable Active Content - IE warning message for ways to disable this. (If you think that's a good idea for you.)

This only happens w/ my browser while working inside Dreamweaver (MX 2004).

I suspect it would would also occur if you open the the local html file on your pc.
