I am new to this site and not real smart on coding. I am using the vertical menu code on my website and when I test it out, my browser (Microsoft IE version 6) makes that pop up bar at the top show up. I found this code on another site and when I use their site, my pop up blocker doesn't bring up that bar at the top. Is there some code I am missing?
Thank you.

You probably are referring to the local Active X warning, read on:

Unless a user's security is abnormally tight, that only happens locally, as a security measure. As far as IE is concerned, javascript is ActiveX. Click on the bar and click on allow and click on yes. Once your page is live, this will not happen. You can also give your page 'the mark of the web'. That way (in most cases) it will not display the security bar locally either. Put this right after your <html> tag like so:


<html>
<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->
<!-- this and above comment should be removed for live, non-demo use -->
<head>

But, navigating away from the page to another local page, or including another local page on it via a frame or an iframe can be problematical if said page does not also have 'the mark of the web' on it.

Thank you. I will add it to my website and see how it works.
