SP2 and Flash

October 26th, 2004 Randy

Microsoft’s SP2 is impacting web development, specifically cd-rom development. This is caused by new “local machine lockdown” procedures that attempt to make the viewing of local web-based material with IE safer. We always use web-based technologies for CD-rom based content and these new “features” are causing glitches in user experience. One work-around is a “Mark of the Web” comment line you sinply add at the top of your HTML code:

<!-- saved from url=(0017)http://localhost/ -->

Be careful though. It works but … if a page that uses this technique links to another that does not, the link will fail to do anything at all. It will fail silently. This happened to me when I linked to ppt files.
