information bar won't be disabled

[David Schwartz]

I'm developing a site and whenever I load the pages I'm developing, the info
bar always comes up. It's very annoying and I don't like it. As I've posted
elsewhere, I've enabled Automatic prompting for file downloads and Automatic
prompting for ActiveX controls yet I still get the info bar all the time The
weird thing is, I don't know why it's coming up. These pages contain only
the most minimal javascript, no ActiveX or anything...pretty much just
straight HTML and CSS.

Platform:
Windows XP Home v5.1.2600 SP2 Build 2600
IE 6.0.2900.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158

Thanks,
David

Hi,
It doesn't take much to make the Information Bar appear. You're loading
these pages from the HD, right?

There are several solutions for this at http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFAQ.htm
HTH,
Don

The one article at that site that addresses this issues simply instructs me
to do what I've already done. Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
David

Sorry, the three workarounds on that page are the only that I've heard of.

David,

The steps listed at http://www.winxptutor.com/lmzunlock.htm are the official workarounds. Did the information help, or you're looking for some other methods?

Regarding the following suggestion from the page you referenced,

'add <!-- saved from url=(0023)http://www.contoso.com/ --> to a Web page,
where the (0023) value is the string length of your URL that follows it and
Contoso is the name of your Web site. '

o does this apply when we're talking about pages from my local machine where
the protocol is 'file://' rather than 'http://'?
o which web page should it be placed on?
o given that it refers to my local directory, what constitutes the 'name of
my web site'?
o I presume that the comments should be included as well?

BTW, the implied extreme step of enabling Allow active content to run in
files on My Computer does appear to work.

Thanks in advance,
David

Yes

o which web page should it be placed on?

See "Mark of the web" string placement:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=Oy0xT#[email protected]

o given that it refers to my local directory, what constitutes the 'name of my web site'?

You can type any web address (so that the local HTML runs in Internet Zone mode)

o I presume that the comments should be included as well?

Which comments you're referring to?

I'll check this out in a bit but, for now, the comments I refer to are the
<!-- --> characters indicated in the article.
