Malicious exploits using JavaScript often pretend to be in the Local Zone to gain additional privileges. Microsoft's solution to this issue was to make the Local Zone security more restrictive than the Web, blocking JavaScript, Flash and other active content on pages viewed on the local file system. Blocking Javascripts and other active content becomes an issue for Web developers who test their Web pages on their desktop computers before uploading updated pages to their websites.
Mark of the Web
One workaround to this issue is to add 'The Mark of the Web' to your Web page to trick Internet Explorer into treating the local file as if it were loaded from a different zone. 'The Mark of the Web' is a specially formatted comment Internet Explorer adds to Web pages when they are saved from the Web, and grants the local copy the same privileges as the source website.Add the 'Mark of the Web' to the top of your Web page (below the DOCTYPE declaration if one is present) For example:
Change the Web address to the address of your website, and the number '0026' to the number of characters in your Web address, including the http and all punctuation.If you are using Adobe Dreamweaver, it features a command to automatically add 'The Mark of the Web' to your Web page. Select 'Insert Mark of the Web' in the Commands menu. The mark can be removed by selecting 'Remove Mark of the Web' in the Commands menu.
Other Testing Methods
'The Mark of the Web' is the simplest and easiest way to stop blocking JavaScripts in Internet Explorer. However, many Web developers may find this method aesthetically displeasing, and it becomes cumbersome when managing large websites. Another option is to test your Web pages on a Web server. You can install a Web server, such as XAMPP, on your desktop computer, or create a test folder under your website to upload and test Web pages. Check with your hosting provider or systems administrator to see if they can provide a test website for you.

DNS Problems with VistaIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
DNS problems frequently originate in the cache. Over time, the DNS cache can become corrupted causing issues with the DNS in Vista. In order to clear the cache and thus resolve the problems, a command prompt must be launched as an Administrator. Once the command prompt loads, simply type 'ipconfig /flushdns' to clear the DNS cache.
No Connection Without Router Reboot
Many Windows Vista users report DNS problems initially establishing a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) connection with their router. A workaround to this issue is to simply manually reboot the router to which the Windows Vista machine is attempting to connect. This clears the DNS addresses and submits a new address to the computer. If it is a desktop computer, another solution is to manually input the DNS addresses that the computer will use.
Conflicts with Wireless Card or Ethernet Controller Checksum Offload
Windows Vista is not compatible with some features that are bundled with popular wireless cards and Ethernet controllers. In particular, checksum offload features can cause problems when Vista attempts to renew a DNS address once connected to the Internet. To resolve these issues, simply disable the checksum offload feature.
Firmware Problems
Many Vista DNS problems can be solved by simply updating the firmware of the router. The firmware is the software that operates on the router. If an old version of the firmware is currently installed, this will cause problems with Windows Vista. Windows Vista utilizes an improved TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) stack procedure that calls DNS addresses in a different manner than Windows XP. These updates to the TCP/IP stack procedure necessitate having the latest router firmware installed.
Conflicts with LAN Connection
If Windows Vista is used to connect to the Internet via both a wired LAN connection and a Wi-Fi wireless connection, it is possible that the wired LAN connection could create problems when attempting to attain a DNS address through a Wi-Fi wireless connection. This problem arises because the wired LAN connection, even when disconnected, is assigned an IP address if it has been used in the past. This presents difficulties when Vista attempts to connect to the Internet on a wireless connection since it prefers the faster, wired connection. To solve this, simply disable the LAN connection when using the computer in a wireless setting.
