Re: Problem viewing HTML on CD - Is there a simple "HTML viewer" for this purpose?



IE should work, as long as you have users select "Allow active content
to run..." in the little drop-down warning bar. If you want to go the
other-browser method, I'd try Opera. I've never tried it, but if you
installed it and copied that directory to the CD, it might work--it's
about the only thing that I found that I installed under WinXP that I
could run from my Vista install on a separate partition. (ie, it
wasn't installed in Vista, but it ran because all the necessary files
were together)

Problem with Internet Explorer viewing website on CD

I have an interesting problem that until recently wasn't a problem.

Before Microsoft locked down and changed the behavior of Internet
Explorer a person could take an entire web site and place it on a CD
for viewing by individuals. The individual could launch the file
locally on their CD and walk through the website. All the javascript
would work.

Now, with IE locked down and prohibited from operating (scripts)
without being in a trusted zone a user has to have some sort of "HTML
editor/viewer" or a browser other than IE to view the CD contents
locally.

I have to prepare several CDs containing HTML and javascript for a
legal department. These departments may not know that they can't use
IE.

These are old sites. Hundreds of pages. I have tried using Mark of the
Web (MOTW). No luck. All the other solutions appear to be labor
intensive.

There doesn't seem to be a "quick settings change" in IE that would
temporarily fix this.

Does anyone know of a simple HTML viewer that can be included on a CD
(with the web site content) that would allow someone to view the CDs
contents?

Any Ideas?

Thank you,

TPK
