Preview active content in Internet Explorer (Windows)
If you preview a document that contains active content in Internet Explorer after installing the Windows XP Service
Pack 2 update, the browser does not show active content. You can fix this problem by inserting Mark of the Web code
in your document.
Internet Explorer blocks active content and scripting that tries to run in the Local Machine zone. For security
reasons, Microsoft increased the restrictions on what can run in this zone by default. Mark of the Web code tells the
browser to run active content in another zone, in this case, the Internet zone. For more information, see TechNote
19578 on the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/19578.
Insert Mark of the Web code
❖
With your document open in Dreamweaver, select Commands > Insert Mark Of The Web.
Dreamweaver inserts the following line in your code:
<!-- saved from url=(0014)about:internet -->
The line tells the browser to bypass the Local Machine zone and run the active content in the Internet zone.
Remove Mark of the Web code
In Dreamweaver, open the document containing the Mark of the Web code.

Designate browsers for previewing
You can define up to 20 browsers for previewing, and you can designate primary and secondary browsers. It's a good
idea to preview your site in the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape Navigator 7.0, and the
Macintosh-only Safari browser. In addition to these more popular, graphical browsers, you may want to test your
pages in a text-only browser such as Lynx.
