IE6 information bar annoyance

[Magnus]

I have a local HTML document I use as a home page, containing links to
websites I mostly visit. When I click home, exiting internet and reverting
to the local html file, the information bar pops up and warns about active
content. I know it cant be the local file, because it is only straight html
and nothing more, no active content or scripting. If I click "x" to remove
the information bar, it just pops up instantly with the same warning no
matter how many times I try to close it, this is when the browser still is
only displaying my local home page. Why do I get this warning when I
obviously shouldn't? Im not on the internet anymore, im using the local
primitive html file.

Using:
Windows XP SP2 all latest fixes
Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180

Thanks for answering. Still I wonder why the information bar pops up when
there is no active content in the HTML file I use as the home page.

Magnus,

What does the HTML file contain (runs a .js?)

Magnus,

What does the HTML file contain (runs a .js?)

It contains nothing else but: css statements in the header, a table with
corresponding columns and records, anchor tags which links to my websites.
And the typical one's like <p> and purely basic HTML statements, no
javascript or anything that can directly relate to active content.

I have the same problem. The local file has nothing more complicated than a
table command. No scripts.
The one other thing I did track down is that the problem only happens after
visiting certain web pages.
For instance, if I go to the main MS page then home, nothing happens. If I
go from the MS page to
the windows product page, then home the information bar warning pops up.
And it will always pop up
after that until I close IE and reopen it.

I belive you are right. It happens when I "home" from a website that use
scripts and active content. It seems to be a bug, as it doesen't flush out
the fact that it is out of the web page with active content.
