Tel Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 With the installation of XP SP2 IE now has the popup blocker. With the website I have designed I have a flash file showing on the website (to see have a look here ).Eveytime the page is loaded IE comes up with it's message that it's blocked the embedded file, which is the flash. Now I want to put in the correct html so IE doesn't do this anymore. I have tried to look at a few websites' source codes, but it doesn't seem to work on my website.Does anybody know the correct html to put in when inserting flash files?
XPerties Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Running SP2 and don't have any troubles loading your page or getting any warnings.
Tel Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 I realised that all of this happens when I open the webpage on my local hdd. When it's live on the web, I get nothing. Oops.
markwalkman Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 All,This is the local machine breakdown glitch in XP/SP2. The objection messages only show up when trying to run HTML content either locally off a network, HD, or CD rom. There is a fix that works. After the HTML Doctype and before the <HTML> tag in your files you need to add the comment below that fools the local machine into thinking it's running in the Internet zone. This worked for me in a CD rom that went to press this week, and successfully suppressed all the IE blocked content messages. BTW, the CD was Flash embedded into HTML files. Example below:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><!-- saved from url=(0017)http://localhost/ --><HTML>Cheers,Mark W.
Tel Posted August 30, 2004 Author Posted August 30, 2004 Thanks Mark! There is a catch though. You have to put that comment in ALL the pages you want to link to on your localhost, other the link just doesn't do anything if the target page doesn't have that comment.
