    Hello, The only IE7 problem I am having seems as if it would have an easy fix but I am having no luck. Here is a page that explains it all. :D

    Did you try placing the webmail URL in your Trusted Sites area?

    Tools, Internet Options, Security Tab, Trusted Sites (big Green Checkmark).

    Try adding these two sites:

    https://webmail.ctl.rr.com <<------ check the "ctl" part as I could not tell if it was ctl or cfl.
    https://*.ctl.rr.com <<----------- same spelling check as above.

    Generally speaking, IE 7 does not like to see you access from an Iframe across a Domain to a secured site (the left panel). I am just guessing here, but adding the webmail site to your Trusted Site list can help.

    IE7 Update

    After running the User Agent String Utility I did a check here to make sure the changes were installing properly. As you see below is thinks I have IE6 installed.. I do have IE7 .... so the problem is not in that direction.

    ASPNET's HTTPBrowserCapabilities object reports that based on the User-Agent, your Browser has the following capabilities:

    Type = IE6
    Name = IE
    Version = 6.0
    Major Version = 6
    Minor Version = 0
    Platform = WinXP
    Is Beta = False
    Is Crawler = False
    Is AOL = False
    Is Win16 = False
    Is Win32 = True
    Supports Frames = True
    Supports Tables = True
    Supports Cookies = True
    Supports VBScript = True
    Supports JavaScript = True
    Supports Java Applets = True
    Supports ActiveX Controls = True

    I just cannot see IE 7 allowing these two operations:

    {
    document.write('<META HTTP-EQUIV= "Content-Type" CONTENT= "text/html; charset='
    + main.i18n['http charset'] + ' ">\n')
    if (IE >= 4)
    document.charset = main.i18n['http charset']
    document.write('<link rel= "stylesheet" href= "master-style.css" type= "text/css ">\n')
    }

    -------and

    {
    i = main.font_base + main.font_delta
    document.write('<style type= "text/css ">\n' +
    '#folderList { font-size:' + main.font_sizes[i - (NN > 3 || parent.mac ? 0 : 1)] + ' }\n' +
    'BODY TABLE { font-family: ' + main.cfg['meFontFace'] + '; font-size:' +
    main.font_sizes + ' }\n</style>\n')
    }
    if (NN >= 3 && NN < 4 && parent.setFrames)
    parent.setFrames()
    if (!refreshing) {
    f = eval('parent.' + self.name + 'HTML')
    document.write('</head>', f ? f(document) : '')
    }


    You are using javascript to write HTML code to the local drive, and then run the HTML from the drive.

    I am not even sure if there was a workaround (you could disable all the security features of the local lockdown zone) you would want to make it.

    Even though the instance here is benign, the notion of using javascript to write other script or HTML and then executing the result strikes me as a horrible security breach, which IE 7 is quite rightly refusing to allow.

    Hi,

    1st, I would just add *.rr.com to the trusted sites list.

    But it seems RR support is suggesting another thing is to be fixed:

    So I suggest you check out Tools > Manage Add-ons > Enable or Disable Add-ons and check if there's any add-ons that show their status as Disabled.

    Hello, Thanks to you both. Before IE7 the webmail frame did work as it does with Firefox now. I am sure MS fixed a vulnerability and there will be an update that will fix the little problem some time in the future. It is no great inconvenience for me as I use this computer with Firefox most of the time anyway.

    I did go to Enable or Disable Add-ons and enabled each and every one of the disabled settings... NO help.

    The more I think about it the more I think that my ISP gave me the brush off. I am reasonably sure I am not the only one that has this problem. I made an email account for the Microsoft Tech so he could get a first hand look at it. He had the same troubles. I am sure my ISP can manage to do that also.

    Thanks again for your efforts and Happy Holidays to all.

    [FONT= "Comic Sans MS"]I keep getting these Internet Explorer messages on quite a few of the pages I visit. I just want to know how to get rid of these warnings entirely, please.

    Thanks for any and all help!
