    Unhappy panic over filters

    i made a webpage for a university foreign language module project, it contains some simple java and a background like
    this.
    and I panicked when, on going to their computers, they had a thing on, which made a bar appear at the top of the browser window saying something like
    "webactive (stuff) disabled, click to allow or see your administrator"

    my page only displayed the simple stuff - the pics, no sound, lack applet or microsoft.gradient background, until i clicked "allow".
    because of that I jumped to the conclusion this afternoon that the funky background would only be viewable on a computer which is plugged into the internet.

    the reason why this matters is that the site (on a floppy) will be marked by an external examiner who may, by chance, not use an online pc, and the problem is I made the real background and the text both white; so it'd be invisible unless they "select all" - even so, i worry i might lose a ton of marks for a minor oversight; which'd be gutting as I put in an awful lot more work into it than anyone else in my class.

    please could someone reassure me that i'm only experiencing a bout of web-baby paranoia... i think it's just the stress of the final year that's getting to me!

    Yes, the infamous information bar.

    Offline, any java access has to be ok'ed. But trust me, any examiner would get this millions of times a day and be used to it. Otherwise, just put a note at the top of the page.
