IE explorer blocking active content

[reardoma]

hi all,

first post so go easy. Complete newbie when it comes to CSS, but am eager to start learning.... quick simple question. I was trying to use one of the CSS templates on dynamicdrive to work with, and all i've done so far is copy and paste the code and opened the page from my desktop. I'm running version IE 6.2.

My question is this - upon opening the page internet explorer blocks the "content from loading" and shows what i would describe as a condensed page until i "allow" it to load. If was to use this for a public site, i wouldn't want every user to have to unblock in order to view the page correctly, is perhaps CSS not the route i should take? Is there a portion of the code i can manipulate so that IE will not deem it necessary to block it?

The template i'm using is the CSS Fixed Layout #2.1- (Fixed-Fixed)

MSIE uses zones to determine the level of security restrictions it imposes. If you loaded the same document over HTTP, the information bar would not appear.

Search for "mark of the web" for more information. An alternative I prefer is to install a Web server to your machine and load documents through that.

You wouldn't need to. If you upload it to a website, you should be able to see that for yourself.

is perhaps CSS not the route i should take?

This has nothing to do with CSS: it's a result of including a client-side script.

You should use CSS for presentation. We're past the days of presentational markup.
