I have Security setting of my IE on Medium level.
When I clicked on "float" keyword on index list within I've got message "An
ActiveX control on this page is not safe. Your current security settings
prohibit running unsafe controls on this page. As a result, this page may not
display as intendent." When I clicke OK in this message I recived another
message with report of script error :

I've tested this on random entries and I've got similiar message on keywords:
atmospheric, atmospheric effects, blob constructs, bumpiness, clouds,
color->functions, color list pigments, color patterns, gamma

We can thank Microsoft for this; HTML Help requires ActiveX, and they assume
that if you've got them turned off for the local computer zone, then they are
'not safe' (rather than saying 'they have been turned off' or some such).

If you want this to work, you'll need to enable ActiveX on the local intranet,
or add your computer to the 'Trusted Sites' zone.

For local-zone I have Medium-Low

You are probably right however I remember I was in "float" keyword many times
with previous betas. I never noticed this messages within html help. I'm not
sure I have installed many items after beta 8.

I did it. I've changed all ActiveX related things to "Prompt" and nothing
changed with this error.
