Hi all,
I have web pages with "active content" running locally on my PC in
Internet Explorer.
These pages open other windows by "window.open()" and these windows
have, in their turn, active content.

As IE does not let any active content run in web pages that run
locally, I have to "Allow Blocked Content" both for my main page and
for the window opened. It's not nice, but it works...

The problem is that I have to provide these web page information on
CDs (or DVDs), which for IE, are like network drives.
This means that for my main page I have Active X automatically
enabled, but for the child window I have neither the Active X enabled
nor the yellow Information Bar for enabling them.
The only way I found to continue the running of the page is pressing
F5 and refreshing it.

Does anyone has other ideas?

Thanks!

Matteo

But it works for me.

On one of my DVDs this is avoided by redirecting to the Web site instead.
