JavaScript problem in IE7

[Cineno]

Hello,

I recently made a page that uses JavaScript to create the menu. I was testing it ind Firefox and everything worked fine.

I then installed the newest version of Internet Explorer 7 to test it on that. When I try to open the page, I get that bar at the top that says something like "IE has restriced this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls..."

I know I can click the bar and say "allow scripts" or adjust the security settings to not restrict them. However, I don't want the viewers of my site having to do that. I want it just to load with no problem like it does in Firefox.

Does anyone know what I have to do? Is there something I have to change about the JavaScript that IE will not disable it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you're developing this page as a local file on your computer, correct? The page will act differently when it is uploaded to a web server and accessed from the 'net. By default, running scripts in local html files causes the prompt as of SP2. To disable this option do the following:

[ol][li]click on the "tools" button (it's not a menu anymore in IE7)[/li]
[li]select "internet options"[/li]
[li]click the "advanced" tab[/li]
[li]scroll down to the "security" section[/li]
[li]check the "allow active content to run in files on my computer" option[/li][/ol]

After selecting that option, javascript should run just fine in all html files that reside on your computer.

That fixed it!! Thanks a lot, this has been bothering me for a while, hahaha.

Yeah, I was running it off of a local file on my computer, so that solved it.
