What does this mean? "IE has modified this page to help prevent cross-site scripting.

[valeriey]

I have a yellow band across the top of this page that says,


Internet Explores has modified this page to help prevent cross-site scripting. Click here for more information........

What does this mean?

[Ojam]

What does the more information tell you?

[cheapmeister]

Sounds like explorer is trying to keep the web pages from getting mixed together somehow.

[valeriey]

What does the more information tell you?

When I checked this reply the yellow band was gone. If it comes back I will try and Copy & Paste it here.

[valeriey]

It came back.
This is what it says


How does Internet Explorer help protect me from cross-site scripting attacks?
Internet Explorer's Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Filter can help prevent one website from adding script code to another website. XSS Filter watches how websites interact, and when it recognizes a potential attack, it will automatically block script code from running. When this happens, you will see a message in the Information bar letting you know that the webpage was modified to help protect your privacy and security.

If the modified webpage does not work properly, try going to the home page of the website and navigating to the webpage directly. If the page still does not work correctly, contact the website's administrator.

Keep getting the notice above from the IE information bar on just about every page load on this site the last few days. Seems to be related to the ads at the top since these are blank(only when getting this message) with a "#" sign in the top left corner of the ad. Not all ads are creating this issue but most are, only started a few days ago.

Internet Explorer attempts to protect you from XSS (cross-site scripting) attacks[1] by detecting when javascript seems to take a piece of the current page and sends that information to another site.

Unfortunately, Internet Explorer is terribly bad at it. It can't tell a bit of ad code from a real XSS. Even so, the protection IE offers is extremely basic and does not cover all possible types of attacks. It's an alarm that makes it sound like your browser is being proactive and awesome...and yet it's actually doing nothing for you.


[1] Cross-site scripting attack:
When a piece of javascript from another domain has been nefariously injected into a website, it may attempt to send personal information about the user to a 3rd party. This may include your login cookies, your username, or other information.

[valeriey]

It's happening again today.:(
It's driving me nuts.
Is there any way to make it stop(other than using a different browser)?

[Cough]

It just started happening to me today. I have changed nothing on my computer?

Edit: rebooted and now seems OK

Edit: back again on another computer

[S5]

It's baaack.:mad:

This is not a difficult issue to fix and the RFD Developers need to step up and fix this. Bad script codes with CSS need to be investigated the reported. All you need is 1 hour of time to fix this (assuming the developers know what they are doing).

Blah blah blah...:facepalm:

Are you the RFD Administrator that is responsible for this? It only happens when I'm on RFD site.
It would be appreciated if you and your team can fix this. Thank you.

We're looking into this... fairly certain it's a certain ad that's triggering it but have to figure out which one and block it.

[Derek]

Quick update. It was an ad and it has been removed.
