Question

Part of an application is inside a local html file that contains a java applet.
Whenever I try to access is the security bar pops up to ask me if I want to execute that content.

I lowered each and every security setting (internet, local and trusted zones) but it looks like local files (executed from c:\myapp\main.html) lives in their own “secret” zone.

I can’t even add the file to the trusted sites because the “:” is not considered a valid char in the dialog box.

How can I do this? How can I stop the security bar to show for this file?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

I have experienced a similar issue with network applications using HTML help files.

Our resolution for this was to add the server (where the share files resided) directly into to the trusted sites list in internet explorer options.

Perhaps you could try adding in “localhost” (remember to uncheck the “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone”).

You may find that you will experience this same issue though when deploying your application to your users on their computers.

Hope this helps.
