IE users get error: display secure and nonsecure items
My website requires lots of security, so my pages are served over https. However, many of my IE users are getting the following error message:
Do you want to display secure and nonsecure items?
This is such an annoyance to my users. I have tried to fix it, but cannot. I have fixed all of the image sources to state https:, but that didn't work.
Below is the html source of a page that keeps getting the error. Could someone please scan the source and tell me what references are causing the error? Thanks so much!

Do you want to display secure and nonsecure items?
This is such an annoyance to my users. I have tried to fix it, but cannot. I have fixed all of the image sources to state https:, but that didn't work.
Below is the html source of a page that keeps getting the error. Could someone please scan the source and tell me what references are causing the error? Thanks so much!

Sorry, but I'm not going to ask my users to do that. I need a solution that won't require my users to do any thing. When was the last time you used a professional website that required you to change your Browser's security settings?
Well to be honest I don't get those messages as I have my browser set to display the secure and non secure items. To be honest I don't know of any way around this. Sorry

The error generally occurs when your page is pulling content (usually images) from both the https://url and the http://url.
In pages intended for display using SSL, you should make sure *all* paths to images and/or include files are relative (/images/whatever.gif) and not static (http://domain/images/whatever.gif.)
When I get those, it is usually an image in a foorter or CSS style that is called by a static URL.

Rod, I think I did that. I'd appreciate it if you could check the html that I posted in my message and find the error.
The HTML you posted has all static URLs for images.
ASKER
A wild guess, but could it have anything to do with the Template reference at the top?
or in the CSS file....
Hi!
Did you see <a href="http://www.musicstorenetwork.com"? make it https: and see.... None of the links should be http.
Hope this helps,

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
prsupriya, links can be http:// you cannot expect all remote sites to have secure pages.
Like some users before said, replace full pathe with relative ones (that way you can use secure and standard šages without problems).
check for tags like src, background,...
I have been on your site (with IE - normal settings) and I didn't get any popup windows from IE regarding mixed contents.
cheers

For the record, the error was caused by a Microsoft IE bug:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;261188
I awarded points to SquareHead because he suggested that the problem was caused by a javascript file. In reviewing my javascript files and by doing some Google searches, I discovered that Microsoft IE has the aforementioned bug. I fixed the problem by following Microsoft's recommendations.
If only everyone used Firefox . . .
Thanks for the help!

You mentioned that iframe bug. where on your site you're using iframe?
cheers

ASKER
The sample code that I provided loads mmenudom.js. I think it was that javascript file that contained the iframe code.
Open up IE
Click 'Tools' > 'Internet Options'
Click 'Security' tab
Click 'Custom Level'
Scroll down to the 'Miscellaneous' section and look for
'Display Mixed Content'
Click 'Enable'
Click 'OK'
Hope this helps
