I an trying to have a TV listing web page open in Outlook. When I try
to open
the page I get amessage on the website that I must have cookies enable
to
view the webpage. I have cookies enabled (I am also using IE 7 as my
browser.) The page opens correctly inn the browser but not in
Outlook. The
page address is:
http://tvplanner.comcast.net.
Since Outlook is an e-mail client that can render HTML-formatted e-mails
but is NOT a web browser, you will have to explain what you are doing in
Outlook that isn't related to e-mail regarding the web site for the TV
listing.
The default and recommended security zone for rendering HTML-formatted
e-mails in Outlook is the Restricted Sites security zone (and set at its
default High level of settings). This means some HTML code will be
ineffective when viewing those HTML-formatted e-mails. This is for your
protection. For example, do you really want spam or infected e-mails
running scripts on your computer when you view those malicious
HTML-formatted e-mails? You could change which security zone is used to
render HTML-formatted e-mails in Outlook but then you also accept that
you become very susceptible to malicious e-mails. I doubt putting the
web site into the browser's Trusted Sites security zone will work since
Outlook will instead use the Restricted Sites security zone.
Don't expect Outlook to work like your browser. Use your browser for
browsing. Use Outlook for e-mail. If you decide to change the target
for a tree node in Outlook to point at a web site, expect that web site
to not function properly if it uses scripts, ActiveX controls, mouse
events, etc.
What's so hard about putting a link to the site's URL in your
QuickLaunch toolbar if you want 1-click access to it? You can't do
anything with the site when viewed inside of Outlook regarding e-mail,
notes, journaling, or any of the other PIM functions of Outlook.
