SSL security warning popup in IE

Discussion in 'eCommerce' started by netpox, Oct 2, 2009.

    I installed my SSL and it seems to work fine on Firefox but on IE i always get a Security Warning Popup on the pages that are secured. It says:

    Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?

    This webpage contains content that will not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the secuirty of the entire webpage.

    Why does it do that?

    It means that some of your links on the page are not HTTPS secured,

    try to install the Live headers module to your Firefox and load the problem page,
    live header will show the lits of connections, and you will be able to find the HTTP links there which should be corrected.

    Most likely it is some JS script.

    Here is the link to the Live header module:

    This problem mainly due to browser compability.
    What IE version did the problem occur?
    I advise you to update your browser to eliminate the problem.

    Hi,

    You should change every absolute reference (containing the http version of the host) to relative. The problem may be caused by a non secure javascript/image file/css file and even by a css background image as well.
    Thanks

    Very true. The CSS files trip me up (this was a long time ago - before Firefox, so Live Headers is actually a godsend).

    So if you check the source of the page and find nothing there, it might be an unsecured background image in your external css file.
