MSIE 6 blocks my CSS - why?

My MSIE 6 posts a warning at the top: "To help protect...." to block
scripts and ActiveX (it says).

It is blocking my .CSS --there's no blockage if I kill the link to CSS.

What can be in a CSS file that would trigger the MSIE warning?

By the way I can see no effect of the warning -- just a nuisance at
the top of the screen and I worry about viewer's reactions.

Hi Mason,

URL of your site for testing? And source form your page? I have seen it
before where the link to the css file has been placed in a <script> tag
instead of a <link relative tag. (They were using FF for testing and did not
pick this up)

Regards.

I'm sorry, now I cannot reproduce this on line. MSIE posts the warning
when I look at the local file but not for the on-line link.

I am certain the html and css files are the same, as are the images, etc.

For a moment I thought it was the @media print in css.

Then I thought it might be the use of a javascript expression to
hold the top title bar. ( There is no "script" )

Then I thought it was my attempt to embed sound -- an idea I'm
abandoning anyway. (Wish I could but it seems too problematical.)

Here's the link but my MSIE now does NOT display the warning on line !

Caution: the sound might be there !

Hi Mason,

I visited the link you provided (and your homepage). No problems, no
sound... keep working on it.... Programming is the art of nailing jelly to a
tree.

The local version of your page behaved differently to your server version
because as far as IE is concerned they are in different security zones.

I see from your home page that you are an Opera fan (not the musical). Just
be warned that IE has some 80% of the browser market, but it is good that
you are testing your web pages in other browsers.

Regards.
