Trusted applications are allowed actions that Internet Explorer would never approve of for Web pages. They do not bother the user with questions and interruptions, asking for their permission to run the application. They are fully trusted. Microsoft Visual Basic is a trusted application. So is an HTML Application (HTA). These applications are considered to be trusted because they use Internet Explorer interfaces to get inputs from the user, instead of the browser's standard input fields such as the Address bar. A dialog box opened by a trusted application through the functions showModalDialog() and showModelessDialog() is also trusted. To learn more about HTAs, go to Column 39, IE 5.0 Review, Part V: HTML Applications (HTAs). For more on modal and modeless dialog boxes, go to Column 90, Modal and Modeless Dialog Boxes.
