My example is pure JavaScript, there is no Active X involved. Is there
anything else on the page that could throw this warning?

If you have Windows XP SP2 installed this will block any JavaScript running
from pages stored on your PC. Try opening Internet Explorer, then
Tools->Internet Options->Advanced
Scroll down to the Security section
Tick the box "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"

Before you click OK think about why this is set to "off" as a default.
