Another issue when making offline web pages is the Windows XP service pack 2 issue, which blocks active content like javascript or flash animations.
When viewing offline page that contains flash animation or JavaScript with Internet explorer you can run into a problem. A yellow security bar or a notification about blocking active content.
Microsoft has an official workaround for this, named "Mark of the Web comment". Here's also description of it in Adobe's site.
To make it short. If you don't want your users to be troubled with this, just add the following to the top of your html code:
<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->
or<!-- saved from url=(0022)http://www. yoururl .com -->
(the number in brackets represents the length of your URL - including http://)
This tells Internet Explorer to treat the page like Internet zone for which usually has the permissions for active content.

I tried this out and it works but for some reason one of the lines of code shows up in the browser, and then Dreamweaver crashes. No I cannot open that file because it causes Dreamweaver to crash every time. I played around with placing the code in different positons but no luck. Any help?
Hi.
You just need one of the two lines of code above.
Is it showing up in all of the browsers or just in some specific?
Thank you very much! :)
I couldn't understand why this was triggering a warning in IE7 when used offline...
