How Do I Turn Off IE Pop-Up?

[dallin]

Can someone point me to the location in IE6 to avoid this pop up that says
"To enable saving of your reports, please bookmark this page in your browser
and use that bookmark to load this page in the future."

Thanks.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Win2K SP4).

What page are you on and what reports are you saving when you see this
"pop-up"?

I'm access the following address:
http://excal/rele/user/sbq/index2.html?hint=10.16.80.4-1126647962

My Windows version is XP Professional.

It is likely that the user must log into their account before they can
get to that web page.

It is also likely that the popup is generated by Javascript at the web
site, not by the web browser. It is an informational alert telling you
that it would be easier to use a bookmark (provided you are logged in
or keep their cookie for auto re-login upon revisit) than to navigate
through their web site to get to that same web page. You could disable
scripting in the web browser to eliminate the Javascript alert dialog
but then that web site probably won't function. It is their message,
not IE's.

That's a Local page (i.e., on a private or corporate network), yes? In any
event, IE has no control over that pop-up so I'd recommend doing exactly
what the prompt says: Add the page
(http://excal/rele/user/sbq/index2.html?hint=10.16.80.4-1126647962) to your
Favorites. When you need to access that report again, use the bookmark.

WinXP, WinXP SP1, WinXP SP2, or WinXP SP3?

 

[dallin]

I have added this to my favorites and accessed it using that bookmark;
however, the message still pops up when using the bookmark?

I tried disabling the scripting in IE6; however, I still get pop message.
fyi, no login is required for the site address -- it accesses an OLAP cube
Corporate Site.

Speak with your Sys Admin. It's got nothing to do with IE (unless you want
to disallow all pop-ups on any Local pages, which I don't think you really
wanna do).

I reviewed the URL that you provided. The reason that I cannot get to
that site is that the host is local to your domain or network. No one
outside can get to it. Why? Well, look at the URL:

http://excal/rele/user/sbq/index2.html?hint=10.16.80.4-1126647962

excal is not a fully qualified domain name. Who knows on what domain is
located the excal hostname. No one outside the network to which you
connect has access to a host by that name (because no one outside your
network would have the proper domain defaults when they aren't
specified).

"To enable saving of your reports" is not a message from IE. The web
browser won't know what is on the web page. Could be reports, images,
movies, a blog, or whatever.

I haven't used IE6 in quite a while. I don't recall it has a no add-ons
mode as does IE7 and IE8. If not, disable all add-ons yourself. Then
revisit that internal web host. If the prompt doesn't appear, an add-on
is causing it. Otherwise, my guess is something is running on your host
that interrogates your web traffic and offers that prompt. It isn't
from IE.

Dallin,
This does not look like a Popup issue. The webpage is probably showing your
an alert using JavaScript or VBScript. If you have someone in your Corporate
IT, talk to some developer who is familiar with HTML and they can help you
figure out the issue. I DO NOT recommend posting the code in the newsgroup
as it might have sensitive data.
