JavaScript and Service Pack 2 Information Bar

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm a web developer and a site I am working on right now employs JavaScript
for advanced site navigation functionality. However, when I load the page the
Information Bar drops and warns me that the site runs active content and I
must click on the bar to "allow blocked content" before the menu will load.
Is there something I can do within the code to signal SP2 that the code I am
running is not malicious and is able to be run without danger to the user so
I can get around this darn information bar? This site is for a small business
and I'm afraid people are not going to want to come to the site if they have
to click on the bar every time to get the menu to load. Any insight would be
much appreciated. Thanks.

I sincerely hope not. Think about it: if *you* could do that, what's to
stop people with malicious intent from doing it too?

You could:

* Use good old HTML for navigation.

* Tell them how to disable IE's new security settings.

* Get them to use a browser which manages to be secure and functional at
the same time (Firefox, Opera...)

Joe,

This restriction is seen only when you view the page locally. Running from a
web server, users don't get the Information bar.

In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options. On the
Advanced tab, scroll down to the Security section of the list. Select the
Allow active content to run in files on My Computer check box, and then
click OK.

Also, you could instruct them how to add the web site to IE's trusted sites
to allow ASP/JSP pages without the annoying active content bar warning.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
