<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet --> ... revisited

(Note: I'm not sure if you can tell but I use Notepad for creating my html files - in case that matters).

I am creating a web site which is located on my local hard drive. It was working fine when I had win98, but now that I have winXP,
I am getting prompted whenever one of HTML files contains active code, such as this javascript in the following html file.

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("hello");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<img src="test.gif" width=40 height=20 usemap="#xy" border=1>
</center>
<map name="xy">
<area shape="circle" coords="10,10,10" href="testa.htm">
<area shape="circle" coords="20,10,10" href="testb.htm">
<area shape="circle" coords="30,10,10" href="testc.htm">
</map>
</body>
</html>

I checked my security settings to no avail. Finally I read on the Internet that I could get rid of this prompt by inserting the
following line at the begining of my file. <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->

Sure enough it works. I am no longer getting prompted. HOWEVER, my links no longer work. At least not the links in my above
example.

Then today, in the Advanced tab of my Internet Explorer's options, I found what I was looking for all along:
[x] Authorize the execution of active content in the computer's local zone
(Note: I translated this the best I could from this workstation which is French!)

Now, I don't have to include the Mark of the Web <!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->, and I am not getting prompted, my
javascript code works, and of course, my links works.

:) :) :) :) :) :)
