Problem with the geocities.com site (Chess Thinker).

Post by ernest »

When I download a new version of Thinker on the geocities.com site http://www.geocities.com/thechessthinker/download.htm I usually save a copy of that page (or of the "What's New" page) as a .mht file (MHTML Document).
That file can later be read and displayed by Internet Explorer.
I use Win XP Home SP3 (32-bit) and IE7 (and get the regular updates).

I noticed yesterday that all my .mht files coming from the geocities.com site (Thinker) could not be displayed any longer:
Internet Explorer displays the "Invalid Address" screen and shows the address http:///js_source/adframe07.html

Any idea what happened? (some tightening of javascript security rules?...)

Note, on the weird/funny side 8-) :
if I copy the .mht file from my C: hard disk to my other D: hard disk, or to USB memory stick, or to diskette, the file can be displayed by IE from these other devices without any problem!
