Scripts are usually safe popup when opening XML reports

[1984]

Hi,

Whenever I open an XML report generated by TestStand internet explorer throws me two popups. This happens for all the individual logfiles and frankly its quite annoying, so I'd like to get rid of it. I've googled this subject and found two tips:

1. Enable "Active scripting" in the internet security settings

2. Disable "Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows" in the internet security settings

Did both, no change. I know for sure that there is a fix as I have done it years ago, but cant recall.

Any ideas?

thx!

This is IE thing right?

If I remember correctly, options -> advanced -> allow active content to run in files on my computer.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. BTW is it possible to open these logs in Chrome / FF etc? Looks like an odd limitation that it can be displayed only in IE.

I have not found a way to open those reliably with another browser. XML format is not too good anyway (why is it even default format..) when you want to send these reports to someone else, since they would need stylesheets to correct path.

I would just configure results processing to HTML and no problems opening with whatever browser you want. Some features are lost though, but I would still prefer this in case you are not doing any data handling with those XML files.

Yeah, I dont use XML either, it just that I have to work with a legacy station. Thx for your help.
