Mike,
Is there a way to configure Sarissa to not use the ActiveX controls? I am
not very strong in the ActiveX arena, but I assume these controls won't
work in the non-IE browsers that MapBuilder supports?
I really need to get around this from a configuration or programmatic
approach. I am going to do some digging into Sarissa. Any good
references into this area would be appreciated. Interestingly enough, if
I go to the MapBuilder User Guide
(http://geoservices.cgdi.ca/mapbuilder/userGuide?page=samples/tutorial3)
with my IE, I don't see the dialog and the map functions great. This is
encouraging to me as I am hoping it has to do with my local
configuration/deployment.
Thanks for the time slice.

Re: [Mapbuilder-users] Internet Explorer Security Dialog
Kent,
The problem you encountered is because a library we use (Sarissa) uses
ActiveX controls, which are sometimes blocked until you modify the
security settings in IE. We can't change that programatically and we
used to throw up a page explaining this, but Sarissa changes the way it
initializes so I don't think that is working currently. The good part
is that I don't think the very strict security settings are very common
so most people won't encounter this problem. I would guess that Google
implements it's client without using ActiveX controls which is why it
doesn't cause a problem.
The same domain issue is another topic, but we do have a solution for
that using proxies.
