Did you get the following message will be a turn-on when loading public Sharepoint sites,

The Web site wants to run the following add-on: ‘Name ActiveX Control’ from ‘Microsoft Corporation’. If you trust the Web site and the add-on and want to allow it to run, click here…

To fix this problem, just create a js file and paste the following codes to that file,

function ProcessDefaultOnLoad(onLoadFunctionNames)
{
ProcessPNGImages();
UpdateAccessibilityUI();
for (var i=0; i < onLoadFunctionNames.length; i++)
{
var expr=”if(typeof(“+onLoadFunctionNames[i]+”)==’function’){“+onLoadFunctionNames[i]+”();}”;
eval(expr);
}
if (typeof(_spUseDefaultFocus)!=”undefined”)
DefaultFocus();
}

And then upload the javascript file to SharePoint site. After the above process, then refer the javascript file link to SharePoint master page.
Now you didn’t get any ActiveX Control problem. For more information Email us.

If you are applying custom Master page using the custom feature, you may get the following error when viewing or creating a new site,

Cannot convert type ‘Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.ScriptLink’ to ‘System.Web.UI.IAttributeAccessor’

This is because; you are exporting the master page using SharePoint Designer. The master page adds the additional codes; you will be seeing that by open via notepad.

<SharePoint:CssLink runat=”server” __designer:Preview=”&lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;/_layouts/1033/styles/core.css&quot;/&gt;
” __designer:Values=”&lt;P N=’InDesign’ T=’False’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’ID’ T=’ctl01′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’Page’ ID=’1′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’TemplateControl’ ID=’2′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory’ R=’-1′ /&gt;”/>

<SharePoint:Theme runat=”server” __designer:Preview=”” __designer:Values=”&lt;P N=’Name’ R=’-1′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’InDesign’ T=’False’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’ID’ T=’ctl02′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’Page’ ID=’1′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’TemplateControl’ ID=’2′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory’ R=’-1′ /&gt;”/>

<SharePoint:ScriptLink language=”javascript” name=”core.js” runat=”server” __designer:Preview=”&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;/_layouts/1033/init.js?rev=ck%2BHdHQ8ABQHif7kr%2Bj7iQ%3D%3D&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; language=&quot;javascript&quot; src=&quot;/_layouts/1033/core.js?rev=2zFnRPcm89TszX6NUNqMTw%3D%3D&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
” __designer:Values=”&lt;P N=’Language’ T=’javascript’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’Name’ T=’core.js’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’InDesign’ T=’False’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’ID’ T=’ctl03′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’Page’ ID=’1′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’TemplateControl’ ID=’2′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory’ R=’-1′ /&gt;”/>

<SharePoint:CustomJSUrl runat=”server” __designer:Preview=”” __designer:Values=”&lt;P N=’InDesign’ T=’False’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’ID’ T=’ctl04′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’Page’ ID=’1′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’TemplateControl’ ID=’2′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory’ R=’-1′ /&gt;”/>

<SharePoint:SoapDiscoveryLink runat=”server” __designer:Preview=”&lt;link type=&quot;text/xml&quot; rel=&quot;alternate&quot; href=&quot;/_vti_bin/spdisco.aspx&quot; /&gt;” __designer:Values=”&lt;P N=’InDesign’ T=’False’ /&gt;&lt;P N=’ID’ T=’ctl05′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’Page’ ID=’1′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’TemplateControl’ ID=’2′ /&gt;&lt;P N=’AppRelativeTemplateSourceDirectory’ R=’-1′ /&gt;”/>

Following are actual codes for the above lines, when you are open the master page via SPD,

<SharePoint:CssLink runat=”server”/>
<SharePoint:Theme runat=”server”/>
<SharePoint:ScriptLink language=”javascript” name=”core.js” runat=”server”/>
<SharePoint:CustomJSUrl runat=”server”/>
<SharePoint:SoapDiscoveryLink runat=”server”/>

To fix this issue, don’t export the master page file using SPD. Instead just copy the code from SPD to an empty master file.
