BIG UPDATE, if you are here, skip this entry and go directly to: Revenge of the SharePoint, public website and name.dll ActiveX yellow bar
Ok, so here I am, happily going along installing my public website in Sharepoint, when I notice my partner when he tries to view the new website online gets an ActiveX warning yellow bar:
The Web site wants to run the following add-on: 'Name ActiveX Control' from 'Microsoft Corporation'. If you trust the Web site and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here...
How annoying and not very “professional” looking for a public website, definitely gives that garland, rooney, sheet in the back of the barn feel. You look like a newbie in the new web 2.0 world if your public website is trying to load any active x control other then Silverlight, Flash, or Air.
Luckily a little digging around turns up an answer (good old google) ..Fixing the name.dll ActiveX Problem the Mossman Way.
