IE blocking applet

[gib65]

Hello,

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I'm not sure where else to put it. Please move it if necessary.

There must be a way of getting IE's popup blocker to allow for the content of specific websites.

Right now, I'm working on a web page with a Java applet. It's in a folder on my desktop (so not even running on a server) and every time I double-click it, it opens with the popup blocker warning me that

"To help protect your security, Interent Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..."

I only need to click on it and select "Allow blocked content" in order to allow the applet to run, but it's annoying that I have to do this every single time, and I'm thinking there must be a way of permanently allowing for such content even if only for this one web page.

Alternatively, if I select "Information Bar Help", it tells me under "Can I turn off the Information bar?" that "Yes, you can, but we don't recommend it. If you do want to turn it off, you have to turn it off for each type of message."

Is there any way around this? Isn't there a way to let IE know that this one page is safe and that for all future attempts to open it, it doesn't need to prompt me to allow its content?

Use firefox, safari, chrome, or opera. IE is out of therapeutic range. Ok joking but the other browsers don't give this active x block. Sorry I dont know a fix for your IE problem. Maybe someone else does.

This is actually very easy to "solve": upload the page to the internet, and don't use it locally.
This warning only occurs when the page is being viewed from your computer.

Why? No idea... ask Microsoft.

But if you can view this from the internet instead, it should fix the issue.

Thanks very much.

By the way, one thing I forgot to mention is that this is based on your security level: different users may get the warning in different circumstances based on how high their security level is (or how high that site is set). These settings are adjustable for each user within IE.
The default is what I described, though, and should be true for most users.
This means two things, though:
1. Some users may still experience the warning (but then they either chose to set your site to a higher level individually, or they get this warning on every page that uses Javascript).
2. You can lower your security levels (not that I necessarily recommend it) and avoid this warning locally.
