[Javascript] xp sp2 ie help

[Paul McGuire]

I have found that XP service pack 2 IE displays a little icon down the 
bottom saying its blocked some content. The user must click this and then 
agree that they are happy for this content to be allowed from this site from 
now on and it continues to work then.
