Loading site through outlook

[Ryan Ternier]

We're having some weird errors with customers loading our web
applications through Outlook (from a Notification email we send out).

When a user from this organization uses our sites by double clicking IE
and then browsing to it, everything works fine.

however, when they click on the link from outlook, and log into our
sites, 1/3 of the javaScript (the stuff that is called when the form
submits, from JS that is pushed by REsponse.Write("") etc.) will not work.

Has anyone had issues with this before? I've heard Outlook opens all web
pages in restricted mode, but I have not been able to replicate this on
our development / test boxes.
Thank.

if you have the lastest security updates to outlook enabled, then in html
all javascript should be disabled, and images may be disabled.

if you design a webpage for mail, do not use any postback controls, just
submit buttons and anchors (hyperlinks). link buttons, grid pagers, dropdown
postbacks, etc will not work.

Bruce,

Thank you for the reply.

There is no scripting / dynamic content in the email. The email is a few
lines of text with a link to our site.

So when you click the link, it will load our website in IE.
That instance of IE is the one that will not work with our JavaScript on
our site.

But if they Load IE by double clicking the Icon, they can access all of
our site perfectly.
