Help!!!! javascript

KingPhoenix · 26-09-2004, 22:09

OK, attached is a file that acts as the options controller for a toolbar that i am developing for I-Web Solutions.

The problem i have is SP2!!!!!!

Because the page uses javascript to split the page (not a problem, if push comes to shove, i will put it all on 1 page), but it also stores a username and password (and will eventually also store domain name and hosting type) so that users can login straight to their panel, but Internet explorer with SP2 keeps bringing up a yellow bar, and you have to click on it and then click allow for the page to work...

Im not sure if that makes sense, but if you view the page and you have SP2 you will know what i mean.

Basically is there any other way of doing this?

I suspect there will be something that can be retuned in IE's security settings (tools > Internet Options), but don't know what.

XP SP2, turns on high security settings by default. You might need to add the website into trusded zones, or allow scripts or controls to run automatically.

Of course now that M$ can't supply java as part of IE or windows, anything using javascript seems to cause problems for many users simply cos the default PC might not be able to run it without them knowing where to go and download java stuff.

KingPhoenix · 26-09-2004, 22:24

Yeah, you "should" be able to go in and turn down security settings, however.......... you try and do it, it kicks up and says that the security setting is not suitable for this type and must be set to medium or higher :@

Also, i dont know if this makes a difference, but the file is actually put onto the users hard disk... rather than being done accross the web......

KingPhoenix · 26-09-2004, 22:31

On further investigation, this only occurs when being run locally....... if i run it from the web it works perfectly.............. :S :S

any suggestions?

Java is not related to Javascript in any way.

You learn something new every day

So slightly

when I get messages on newly loaded PC's that can't run things like menu systmes, you see little bits of text in the bottom left corner of the IE windows status bar area saying something to do with java but nothing is happening, is that likely to be the java or javascript or what that my PC needs? I usually resolve it by downloading from www.java.com, but am I right

That's SP2 for you man .. I preview all my site's locally, anything with javascript or flash will give you the bar, I'm sure you can alter the local settings so it doesn't do it but I've not discovered it yet, and like you say, it'll work fine when it's actually uploaded.

KingPhoenix · 27-09-2004, 17:31

Ok, im gonna need to test it to see if it will store the settings locally then i guess :S....
