I am wondering if there is a way to bypass or auto accept a alert dialog in IE using _javascript_. i guess that would be considered a security hole though ;-)On 4/21/06, T.

MS's software can be confusing, and now IE is *especially* confusing with this Eolas thing, but my bet is that that is what Nathan's visitor was experiencing the eolas patent bug/patch.On 4/21/06, Markus Sandy < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:tech support 101...
that's great if it works for you, but you are only demonstrating how this and the eolas problem are separate issues on YOUR browser
now test it with the actual user and get back to me ;)
how do you know you are getting the same error message?
how do you know s/he is only up against one issue?
how do you know that they have the updateded IE? the odds are that they do not.
the real issue here is to find out the EXACT error message
it may indeed be that the person is running into the eolas problem, but I would not assume that every IE activeX issue is fixed by popups - first i would check their settings - many corps turn these things off (remember those custom IM install packs - lovely)

That's the kind of code that will produce the ActiveX pop-up thing. That's what the popup maker and vPIP plug-in address.

You should also let them know that it's not you, it's them. In

words-- you didn't change anything. Their web browser changed, and
they're going to get those popups on other sites as well.
Then point them to a real web browser, like Firefox.

An avid watcher of my stuff dropped me this comment:
Hey Nathan, do you realise you've got ActiveX employed
on your Web site? It's causing these really annoying
pop-up messages to appear in my browser every time I
access your page. I use IE 6. Can you do something
about this?
Can anyhow send me in the right direction.
Any help will be rewarded.
