OFFXP: You Cannot Successfully Block Web Pages (820562)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office XP Developer
  • Microsoft Office XP Professional
  • Microsoft Office XP Small Business
  • Microsoft Office XP Standard

SYMPTOMS

You cannot block access to certain Web pages through the use of scripting. If you click a link that has been blocked through an event procedure, the script runs, and then Microsoft Internet Explorer opens the Web page. The Web page opens even though the event procedure successfully processes the request to block access to that Web page.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the Discussion toolbar is visible.
