Hi, when I run my help application, developped with the new
version of RoboHelp 7 using WebHelp layout, I have the Ms-Internet
Explorer message: 'To help protect your security, Internet Explorer
has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX
controls that could access your computer. Click here for
options...'
If I click on 'Allow blocked content...', that message
disappear, which is fine, but when I run it again, that message
still reappear. I already modified the options (Tools/Internet
options) within MS-Internet Explorer in order to allow running
scripts and ActiveX, but it didn't fix the problem.
Thank you for your help.
Bob.
Sounds like you are running the webhelp locally without
having ticked the Mark of the Web option. You don't need that
option if you are publishing to a server.

Hi Peter, Thank you for your answer. I selected 'Mark of the
Web' when I generate my project and in fact, as you mentionned, the
message don't appear. Unfortunately with the 'Mark of the Web'
selected, the PDF files which I was able to display on the screen,
when I click and its link within the help application, don't
display anymore...which is a problem. I'm not that experienced with
RoboHelp.
Bob.
Not sure but I believe the two are mutually exclusive. The
mark of the web is designed to allow webhelp, intended to be run
from a server, to run locally. If run locally without that option,
there is a security risk.
Where is the help going to be located for the users?

Hi Rick,
Your answer fixed the problem. I followed the steps defined
in your solution and everything is ok now. I don't even have to
check the option 'Mark of the web', and my PDF files are now
displayed on the screen.
For now, I'm developping my help application directly on my
personal computer where reside all files (including PDF files). In
a near future, we will copy the help application onto a server
where the users will access the application from our
intranet.
