Javascript problem after installing SP2

[Mark Christensen]

Hello,

The admin site of my website is setup so that when I add a new product, I
can browse to a photo on my local hard drive to upload. After browsing to
that photo, I can click a Preview button before uploading the photo and the
photo would open in a new window. This worked great for months - until I
installed SP2 last week. Now when I click on the Preview button, I do not
get a preview of the photo. Instead, I get an "Error on page" notification
in the bottom left corner of my browser (IE 6) and when I click on it, it
says:

Line: 522
Char: 2
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: it then lists the url of this admin page on my website

I've talked with the IT guy who wrote the code for the admin part of our
site and he says the problem might have to do with SP2 not allowing me to
read files from my local machine via JavaScript. Does anyone know if he is
correct? Or what I need to do to make this Preview button work again? (I've
set IE to allow popups from my site but that hasn't helped.) Thanks for the
help.

If you are affected by local machine lockdown [watch wrap]
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/productinfo/XPSP2/securebrowsing/localloc
kdown.aspx), then you can disable it in Internet Options -> Advanced ->
Security [At the bottom]. You can disable local machine lockdown by checking
"Allow active content to run in files from my computer" (Or CDs if you run
from CD).

Try converting your page into a HTML application (my HTML is pathetic but
AFAICT, renaming it to .hta seems to be enough).
