I have what I think is a simple question. I am working on a series of HTML files locally, that will be put onto a CD. When I run them from the CD or from my pc, the links all work in Firefox, but none of them work in IE 7. They are all simple href links. Is there a setting or something that I missed that prevents links like that from working? Thanks in advance for any help.

When IE is asked to run an html file locally from a local CD, all kinds of things can mess up. The problem is often that IE uses even higher security blocks for local files than it does for files that are coming over the web from a server.

I found that the best way to place html on a CD is to embed a server application on the CD, so that the files are literally "served", not just "run" locally. I had great results with Server2Go [server2go-web.de]

Check out this thread from a while back for ideas:

Tedster,
thanks for the suggestion, I am going to try server2go.

Any other suggestions on capturing a site for use offline (I assume we are all basically trying to accomplish the same thing here). My issue is that the site I am trying to capture is on a secure server, so the automated solutions I have tried before get hung up on the login.

Thanks again for the suggestion.
