7/4 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 The image “http://home.1asphost.com/sousy2050/jeeper.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors. Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Ok, I'll explain. This is not a funny pic, it is a demonstration of Internet Explorer security issues. The .jpg address does not load a picture but a Visual Basic Script (displayed below), which can run various Windows actions, such as opening the CD drawer of your computer. If this doesn't happen, you either use a different browser (Netscape and Opera don't execute VB Sript), a different operating system (only Windows will do this), or your system has been secured. And if you don't find it surprising that a web page can open your CD drawer, you are the ideal Microsoft customer <script language=VBScript> <!-- Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" ) Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdrom End If --> </SCRIPT> <img src="haha.jpg" width="600" height="431" border="0"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vibes Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 I use IE 6.0, and while I saw the picture, my CD-ROM was not opened. Perhaps I have my security set up differently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Now that I finally got my computer rebooted, I must say, Claude, you're a regular laugh riot... Hey, B3-er, any word on upgrading the software so we have an "ignore" feature? I uh...have someone in mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted January 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Speaking of software upgrade, think about using a Netscape or Opera browser. They ignore these annoying script code tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibes Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Claude, you bastard... It's a good thing I'm running XP. My machine is very stable, and I was able to just close all the windows at once using the task manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 Speaking of software upgrade, think about using a Netscape or Opera browser.

David Ayers Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 So how can I get my CD drive to play a CD now? Do I have to reboot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
