I have just learning FrontPage 2003 using the Step by Step book. When I look at pages with ActiveX items in design view I see the item, if I switch to preview I dont see the item just the area it occupies.
I suspect that I need to change a security setting in Explorer, but I don't know where to start looking. Can anyone tell me which setting needs to be changed and the likely consequences
Per our support engineer:
Could you please tell me whether you can see the activex control by browsed with IE?
IF not ,you should install it with the hint form infomation,then you can see it with IE.
Also ,you can follow this to try to add the web site to trusted zone:
IE--ToolsInternet OptionssecurityTrusted sites—Sites, you can add the web site to the trusted zone.
Attention: please uncheck “Require server verification (https :) for all sites in this zone”

When I open will IE it displays. The code behind the item is:
<applet code="fprotate.class" codebase="images/" width="264" height="72">
<param name="image1" valuetype="ref" value="images/banner1.gif">
<param name="image2" valuetype="ref" value="images/banner2.gif">
<param name="image3" valuetype="ref" value="images/banner3.gif">
<param name="rotatoreffect" value="blindsHorizontal">
<param name="time" value="2">
</applet>
I did not manage to add the Site to the trusted sites. The website on my hard drive, examples to work through from the book.
If the Web site is not actually connected to a live Web server (i.e., it only lives on your hard drive) I don't believe that you'll be able to see any activex controlled items in preview mode.
