Re: How to configure IE using Javascript

Hi,

You cannot modify security settings via javascript. Because, this is not
safe for client and for that reason, browsers do not allow this operation
unless you find a security bug.

As far as I know, you can not modify cookie settings. Because these are
security issues for client and browser should keep safe client side. But if
client's browser enabled cookie, you can save your XML file content as a
cookie via javascript. You can test whether or not cookie is enabled on
client's browser and if cookie isn't enabled, you can ask for enabling.

Hello all,

I am developing one web messanger for our existing web application.
Now I want to save some data in XML file on client site.
I have done it Using FSO (FileSystemObject) . It is working fine.

But for this object I have to set One IE setting..
-> SecurityTab
-> focus on Internet
-> Custom level
->Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as Safe.. This is
to be Enabled to use FSO object client side javascript.

By default this is disabled.

Now my problem is i need to check IE security Level and enable this
feature.
What and how should I do the same????

If it is possible to create and save XML file on the same client
machine by any otherway please let me know.

One thing just to mention is i need this file at client side only
information is just temporary when client logs out everything will be
lost.. But I dont want to do it by cookie as many user may disable it
or something..

Is there anyway to enable cookies?

Hope I have explained the problem well..
Please help if anybody is having any idea for this.

Thanking You,
Archita Vakharia
