Internet explorer security.. 1

[MattoThePotatto]

Hello,
I'm new to JavaScripting, and can't get my scripts to work in internet explorer without a security message popping up.
How do I resolve this and stop the security from disallowing my page to show up?

Thanks in advance,
MattoThePotatto.

They are most likely only showing because you are running them from the local filesystem rather than serving them via a web server.

Once they are 'online', be that from a remote webserver or one running on your computer the messages should disappear.

That's what I call a guess ... how can you know that without knowing the error? He may just have scripting disabled.

Cheers,

Cool , thanks Foamcow.
Are there any free web servers that I can use to see if this is the problem?
TY again , :]

 

[Foamcow]

Yes, lots. Too many for me to list here.

Your ISP probably gives you some free webspace.

You could download and install a webserver to run on your local machine, just for internal use. Take a look at WAMP for an easy to install Apache, MySQL, PHP setup for Windows (MAMP for OSX).

Alternately use Microsoft IIS which shipped with XP Pro and probably some versions of Vista.

Or, hit Google for free/cheap hosting companies. A hosting account with Dreamhost will cost you about 6 dollars a month.

It's called experience.

While not all hunches (I prefer that to 'guesses', as they're normally based upon your experience) are right, a lot are - certainly amongst the higher MVPs.
