  4. Click "Allow Blocked Content." When you do so, it will show a warning asking you if you really want to do this, at which point click the Yes button.
     

  5. If you had already closed the yellow strip shown in 1 above by clicking the X, close Internet Explorer and then restart it, taking care to follow steps 2-4 when the yellow strip appears and you open the CiteRefs scan attachment..

B. If using Mozilla Firefox, do the following:

  1. In the browser's menu bar, click Tools ... Options.

  2. Then click the Content tab. Enable JavaScript should be checked.

  3. If not, click in the little check box to enable it.

  4. Then click the OK button.
