Hello!

I wonder which HTML tags or javascript code or whatever, that triggers the
"Do you want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and
plug-ins to run?" - dialog?

Check you settings under Tools/Security tab.
Under the Custom setting....

Anything using Prompt will give you a message.

Hello Henri!

If you need more help then explain what you are doing and the exact error
you get.

I have configured IE6 so that it prompts when the webpage is trying to run
an activex or plug-in. I then use Trusted sites and Restricted sites on the
pages that I frequently visits. Trusted sites enables all ActiveX and
scripts and Restricted sites disables them.

But, even though I have put a site, e.g. *.microsoft.com, into Trusted
sites and then access http://msdn.microsoft.com, I get the dialog "Do you
want to allow software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?"

I guess that the page is trying to load/run an ActiveX control that is on
an another domain. To find out which domain and which ActiveX control I
need to look in the source of the page. The html source for
http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.aspx is over 1000 lines, so it's a bit
much just to browse

I need to now which HTML code to look for!

A list of ways to load/run/activate ActiveX controls and plug-ins so I can
search for them in the html source and then make a informed decision on
wether I should put the domain in Trusted or Restricted sites.
