Hi, Kelly-

Thanks for the information. I've read through it carefully. Am I to understand that the blocking is supposed to work only when the web page resides on the computer but not when the user has downloaded the page from the web? Because that's what's happening, and that's what confuses me.

Perhaps I didn't explain well enough originally. I develop the pages on my home computer and test them out by double clicking on the file name in Windows Explorer. That's when I get the blocking message. But when I upload the pages to the web and access them via IE, they appear without the blocking message. That's what confuses me.

In Windows XP SP2, when the active content is blocked from running in the Local Computer zone, the Information Bar will appear.

A friend is helping me create a little website which contains javascript. When I access the pages from the website, it works fine, but when I access the same pages on my home computer, I get the following message across the top of the IE WIndow:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options..."

I can't access the rest of the site online until I click "here" and allow the blocked content.

I've tried to change my IE security settings via tools | internet options | security and unchecked everything that seems remotely connected to this issue, without success. It's just a minor nuisance, but if anyone can explain why this happens and (hopefully) how to cure it, my friend and I would appreciate it.

I get the same thing. Never worried about it. I have a java script to display "Its Wednesday" or whatever day. And it fails on my pc but not on my site if that's what you mean. And it works in Firefox browser but no IE7. Hope you get an answer.

Did you try clicking on the yellow bar at the top and reading the options? I never did, I'm lazy, just wondering if you did.
