    Ok I'm building a simple webpage right now for Web Design class using Dreamweaver. I decided to add an embedded youtube video into it, and it works fine. But, everytime the page loads up the yellow "active x control" warning bar pops up.

    How do i get it to not pop up for others viewing the page? I notice at the home page of clutchfans.net, there's a youtube video there and the warning doesnt popup like I'm trying to download something.

    Is kinda annoying.

    thanks,

    I'm also having this same issue. For Mozilla Firefox the youtube video will come up but if I open it in Internet Explorer I get the yellow active x control warning bar pop

    First of all,
    THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! :grin:

    Post your partial code that contains the YouTurd embed here, sir.

    Use the [ code ] tags, please.
    Code:
    //code goes here.
    Let's see why it doesn't show a warning here but on your site it does. :cool:

    The "active X warning" is not part of Firefox's "warning system" like in I.E., sir. You will NEVER get that. You should thank the Mozilla's peeps for that.

    I don't care if I get it. I care about the people who visit my site that use Internet Explorer. I want them to be able to see my video instead of not seeing it because of the Internet Explorer Active X yellow badge thing.

    Still, what's your code...? Let's see where you're activating "Active X", sir. :eek: It just might be JAVASCRIPT code or ACTIVE X code of which you're unaware.

    try this:

    name a text file: AC_RunActiveContent.js

    and paste in this content







    Now put this in your (head) code:

    (script src="AC_RunActiveContent.js" type="text/javascript"></script)

    make the above brackets and not parentheses <> - no ()

    I think this is do to you running it locally and IE's local zone is set to prompt when an ActiveX component needs to run (which that Object tag uses).

    If you upload it to a web server, do you still see the bar?

    I was going to say this. Once you load it on the server you shouldn't get that message again.
