Investors Edge Help System, Enabling Java Script And ActiveX.
InvestorsEdge.com uses ActiveX and Javascript to display the best stock charts available on the internet on your PC. If you have disabled either of these, you will not be able to view any of our great free investment tools. You may receive a dialog to the effect of "Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls" or other messages indicating your browser is not running our pages properly. To solve these problems, use the steps below.
What are the correct web browser security settings?
To change your security settings in Internet Explorer, select Tools | Internet Option | Security. Make sure you have selected the Internet zone as shown on the picture at the bottom left. Usually, the Medium security level is sufficient for use with Investors Edge, and you can get to that setting by clicking the Default Level button.
You may encounter a bug in MSIE where the browser will sometimes show the Medium setting but will not actually use the proper settings for the Medium security level. In that case, click the Custom button and set each individual security setting as shown in the picture at the bottom right.
If you are still having trouble after using the Custom settings, double-check that you do not have any security or firewall that might interfere with ActiveX or Javascript. This includes utilities such as ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security.
