Service Pack 2 Problems and Workarounds
If your computer has Service Pack 2 installed you will notice that you are prompted to allow or disallow scripts to run on a website. In general 90% of all websites run scripts of some kind and all Allwebco templates include scripts and whenever you surf the web you will be prompted in your web browser to allow active content.
Solution:
You can open your browser advanced settings and enable running scripts. You will then no longer be prompted by your web browser to allow active content. This may not work for all users.
Setting up a web template on your local hard drive:
To allow scripts to run while you are working on a web template on your computer: Open your web browser (Internet Explorer). Select "Tools" on the menu, then select "Internet Options". Select the "Advanced" tab. Find the "Allow active content to run on my computer" tab and check this setting to on. See figure below:
Solution #2:
Once your template is uploaded the message problem should cease. One solution to stop this while editing on your local hard drive is to use Netscape for all previewing. Click here for Netscape details.
Notes from Microsoft Support:
Template user Randy Landgraf contacted Microsoft support and here is what they indicated:
Regarding "Security message when previewing files locally with JavaScript or Flash content" Sat, 15 Jan 2005:
When previewing files locally on your hard drive that contain active content (for example, JavaScript or Flash), the following security message appears in Internet Explorer's yellow Information Bar:
To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options ..."
Note: This security message only occurs if you are viewing files directly from your hard drive. For example, C:\myFiles\myFile.htm. This message does not occur if you use the http:// protocol to view your pages from either a local web server (http://localhost/myFile.htm) or remote web server (http://www.your-web-domain.com/myFile.htm)."
Summation from Randy Landgraf: Evidently, when the web site gets placed on the web with an http:// protocol, the browser does not display the blocked content message.
