I wonder if someone can explain to this simpleton about scripted windows...

ok, when I want to enter a url or email etc, I click on one of the icons above.

Now, Firefox & Opera handle this very nicely by providing the user with a nice little pop-up dialogue/form box which you can fill in, end of problem.

As we all know Internet Explorer likes to piss you off by flashing a warning bar...

This website is using a scripted window - click here to allow... etc

Many of our users use IE, it's a fact.

So why is it, that when we click on 'file manager' a box pops up instead of the usual flashing warning bar (that IE has)?

I'm sure it's something like javascript vs whatever but I'm curious as to why two different methods are used.

Apologies if this really is a stupid question - but I need to know crazy wink

Thanks.
