IE7 does not show Contents Index Search bar

[mnicoll]

Robohelp 7, Webhelp.
When I open the (local) helpfile.htm file with IE7, I get a white space where the Contents Index Search bar should be. If I open it with IE6, it works fine. I presume that I need to change one of the thousands of IE7 options. Anyone know which one?

Is there not a yellow bar across above the help with a warning about Active X? One way is to click that and allow Active X to run.

You could also generate the help for local viewing with Mark of the Web applied.

Post back if that is not what you mean.

I do not get the yellow active X warning bar.
I have gone through my "Local" zone security settings in IE7 and nothing is disabled.
I can't find any reference to "Mark of the Web" in the Robohelp Help, or in the
Robohelp 7 for Word Webhelp Single-Source-Layout dialogs.

The importance of always indicating whether you are using RH HTML or RH for Word.

RH for Word does not have that option. In IE options scroll down until you find the Security options. You have to ENable allow Active X to run.

Thanks Peter, I've got it working.

There are a number of Active X security options - I think it was enabling "Display video and animation...."
which finally did it.
