Being new to Frontpage 2003 I created a site using the "Project Web Site"
template.

To cut a long story short certain themes seem to produce the "To help your
security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active
content....".

I can't work out why - I tried clearing all the Tools->Page
Options->Authoring script options off in an attempt to fix this. Why is it
different between themes?

I decline to enable content on most sites that throw this warning, I'm
assuming other users mistrust these things too. It's not something that
makes
your site look classy, though I've yet to discover what content is lost by
not enabling.

Is this a fixable thing?

I've barely scratched the surface of creating sites using Frontpage - I'm
suspicious of it already......

Dave,

It sounds to me like you are previewing this on a disk-based Web site. IE
will block certain content from the file system by default. That won't
happen once the site is on the Internet.

As an aside,
Can anyone tell me how to *allow* ActiveX.?
I get some Emails from good sources where this is banned, but I can't find
how to turn ActiceX back on

If I am understanding you correctly you can use (in IE) TOOLS | Internet
Options > Advanced > Security > Allow active content to run in files on My
Computer.
 
Thanks Jim - yes you're absolutely right, when published these warnings
disappear.

It doesn't help that I.E. gives no clues as to what the content is that it's
suspicious of, or why it's blocking it.

Thanks again.

Dave
 
My solution will solve that. So will adding the Mark of the Web to your
pages. Google for that term and you'll see all about it.

The Help files for IE clearly outline what causes that message. It is
displayed whenever there is an ActiveX control or script on a page stored on
the local disk.

Thanks, Murray

That is what I thought. This is checked and I thought that I had had it
checked for some time

I will monitor it, to see if the message still comes up.

If it does , waht else can I do?
 
Or javascript
