Information Bar in Internet Explorer

cerebis

Hey all I have a problem using image rollovers on my website...I've tested it and an information bar at the top of the screen (in internet explorer) blocks the rollover's and gives the following message ....

"To help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options"

My image rollover code is

<A ONCLICK="return false"
ONMOUSEOVER="document.images.imageDemo.src='/gifs/redball.gif'"
ONMOUSEOUT="document.images.imageDemo.src='/gifs/ball.gif'" HREF="#">
<IMG border=0 NAME=imageDemo SRC="/gifs/ball.gif">
</A>

I've tested it in Fire Fox and there was no hassle...is there a way around this in Internet explorer.....

I've also tried using the dynamic rollovers in Frontpage...but the same thing is happening..has anyone any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance!

Thats most likely down to the Javascript security settings on your browser.

cool, I was thinking about that but I have defaulted my settings...security settings are set to medium. Other users to the site will probably have the same settings as me and will also receive the information bar, but is there a way around this ?

Thanks

are you testing it locally or on a server?

locally! oops is this the problem?

Webmonkey

Yes IE blocks scripts when viewed locally.
