"...with the default browser settings" is the rub: You *would* get an error
message (or prompt) if the Security Zone in which the file is running (e.g.,
Internet Zone) were configured to disallow the file or prompt before running
it. Try it yourself: Disable (or choose Prompt for) all scripting in IE
Tools>Internet Options>Security>Internet>Custom Level and see what happens
then.
