Why is it that sometimes when your using javascript and internet explorer when you test your code or view the page in a browser, a small yellow bar goes across the top of the screen saying...

"to help protect your security, IE has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. click here for options"

?????

Here is the code I am using which is a suckertree menu javascript put before the end of the </head> tag.



[I]<script type="text/javascript">

var menuids=["treemenu1"]

function buildsubmenus_horizontal(){
for (var i=0; i<menuids.length; i++){
var ultags=document.getElementById(menuids[i]).getElementsByTagName("ul")
for (var t=0; t<ultags.length; t++){
if (ultags[t].parentNode.parentNode.id==menuids){
ultags[t].style.top=ultags[t].parentNode.offsetHeight+"px"
ultags[t].parentNode.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].className="mainfoldericon"
}
else{
ultags[t].style.left=ultags[t-1].getElementsByTagName("a")[0].offsetWidth+"px"
ultags[t].parentNode.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].className="subfoldericon"
}
ultags[t].parentNode.onmouseover=function(){
this.getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].style.visibility="visible"
}
ultags[t].parentNode.onmouseout=function(){
this.getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].style.visibility="hidden"
}
}
}
}

if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", buildsubmenus_horizontal, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", buildsubmenus_horizontal)
</script>



Why is it also when looking at web pages with the same type of menu's or javascript being used, sometime IE does NOT show this error?

I believe it has to do with IE not liking Javascript. There may be a bug issue there at work.

IE gives me that error just by adding the jQuery library to my webpage without writing any actual JS that uses it!
