I have a problem with a web site that I am creating for our home business. The look I created was acheived by making the conveyor belt slide show and using it as the top banner. I am using FrontPage 2003, and the slide show went on without any glitch. The problem I am experiencing is that when going on to the page itself in IE or Firefox.. The bar appears at the top of the page with the warning that ActiveX must be installed to view the slideshow. Is there a way I can place the script on the page to avoid this extra step visitors have to take?

Are you sure it is happening in FF? Unless you have scripting turned off in IE this should only happen locally in it:

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 it will not display the security bar. 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.

As far as I know FF does not use ActiveX.

WOW thank you so very much... the addition of the script to the site has worked.. now I can post it on the server without the headache of worrying about having the visitors loose intrest right away... Thank you so very much! :p

You shouldn't need that code on the server unless it is a local intranet. Even then it might not be needed.
