Designing a web site for Seniors

[billw]

I'm doing up a site for our Church. Mainly the congregation is older. I'd prefer to use layers, and CSS - but javascript in IE6 triggers the dreaded yellow bar "Active - X" warning. I feel that some of the congregation will find the warning rather threatening and log off.

Is there anyway to get around that warning and use layers ? - or shall I use tables. Any ideas would be helpful and many thanks in advance. :confused:

it only triggers it locally - it won't when it's on a web server

Why would anything CSS trigger that warning?

Using Dreamweaver?

There's usually a bunch of odd and needless code put in by wysiwig programs. That extra Javascript is what is causing your Active X warnings.

CSS as JPnyc mentioned won't cause that.

Aso note that if the computer is older and not updated more than likely the end user will see the warning as well - depending on what script is causing it.

] but javascript in IE6 triggers the dreaded yellow bar "Active - X" warning.

Read the post - Obviously css wouldn't!

Javascript does though

Oh right, missed that. Well as Chris says, it only does that locally (and you can change that setting) but it won't when you upload it to the server

True - css and layers shouldn't kick of the active-X warning - I would like to know though where the setting would be to turn the thing off locally. ( as mentioned). Thanks guys
