yeah it also block css and javascript for PC files, however just click at top for Options and select "Allow Blocked Content...".

thanks FM101

wow.. didnt know that.. thats even worse

i know how to give permission to the pages etc..

but im sure most of my customers wont...

thats the problem..

It isn't a problem as it only happens when loading local files in to the browser. When the content is hosted through a web server, Internet Explorer does not block it. The only way I could see this being a problem is if you're working with web content off of a CD-ROM...

... which I feel to be completely tacky. If that's what you're trying to do, why not make do it through a Flash projection?

thanks preacherboy

your absolutely correct..

sorry I just pannicked a bit when editing my pages and had the blocking occoured.

from the web they load normally...

ok i feel like an idiot now, though a muchly relieved one :)
