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

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.
