VB.NET Webrowser Security

Question

I have resolved some of the issues I was having with the Webbrowser control however I am now getting a Javascript error when I try to run my generated html.

When I display the same code in Firefox I don't see any issue.

When I display in IE9 I get a request to allow ActiveX content to run and if I select yes it will display there as well.

The question is can I make my app be completely trusted since I am generating the html I am not concerned about an attack.

Or a alternate solution might be just to make the webbrowser control display the message like IE9 does and ask to run ActiveX content.

Thank you all for your help.

IMHO, better leave that upto the user; Let them have control over whether they want to run your ActiveX or not. So second approach would be better.
