Question

Pop-up blocker on some pages

Asked by: grandma1

I have a user using Dreamweaver MX for our intranet site.  When she is in her site on a page and hits F12 to view in the browser window, the yellow banner comes across the top "to help protect your ......ie has restricted.......that could.."  Normal pop-up blocker active x message.  It doesn't look like there is any blocked content as the page displays and nothing seems to happen when she clicks allow blocked contents except the banner goes away.  Not all of her pages have the yellow banner.  It seems the change was when I upgraded her from Dreamweaver 2004 to MX.  The pages created in Dreamweaver 2004 do not have the banner come up.  The banner comes up in newly created pages.  When users access our intranet they don't get the banner.   Her pop-up blocker is turned off in IE and all her Security levels are set to the default.  I have checked all the settings I can find in Dreamweaver but I am stumped.  Thank you for any assistance.

Is it possible to paste the HTML code generated for one of the pages here?

A blocked content block is different from a popup block(blocks pop up windows).
Blocked content means:
1. There is some javascript.
2. There is some activeX.
3. There is some flash swf etc multimedia files.

Does she have any of the above in her site?

When you use F12 to test your page, you are running it in your harddisk C: D: etc..
It appears that IE would automatically assign high security to files running on such local directories.

However, if you were to run them locally via a local web server, i.e localhost using ASP,JSP or PHP. You can choose to "Always allow blocked content from this site".

Another way, is to use a different browser for testing. Use one that doesnt blocks such content. You can download firefox and try it.

Also, I would suspect that the reason is not with Dreamweaver MX. Most likely the installation of SP2?

Hi sky99yahoo,

Her individual pages are not small.  I copied her code from one and it is 15 pgs long and that is stopping where the text begins.  Do you want that? I have that and another error save in a word document.  Can I email to you?  

I don't know if she has the 3 blocked contents items you listed.  I'm sure she must have some on her site as she has a ton of files since doing this for 3 yrs.  Yes she is running her site on her harddisk.  It is C.  I don't know how to have her run off the web server, (linux box) that would be doing it remote?  I think?  

I did use a different browser for testing.  Netscape.  She didn't get the banner.

She does have SP2 installed.

I did  access the control panel, Security center, internet options which resembled the options in ie when you launch the browser and selected tools, internet options.  Her security setting were on custom and I changed them back to the default.  I was positive I changed the security setting in her browser but in the Security center they were different.  It doesn't look like it would be in 2 seperate places but I don't know.  Changing to the default didn't make a difference.

Thanks for assistance.  Sue

I have this problem myself and I have no idea how to allow blocked content permanently for a specific location on the hard disk...

If she has Netscape, she can set it as the default browser for Dreamweaver previewing..

Hi,

The switch is there in Internet Options > Advanced ... I believe the checkbox is labelled 'Allow pages on My Computer to run Active Content' or words to that effect.  Can't check exact name as I'm not on Windows right now, but I have done this myself.
