HTMLTipsSSLNonSecureWarning

A question was in a newsgroup I ran across:

> I have a search box to search certain data in one of the database tables;
> whenever I search I get the following message in a security dialog box:
> " This page contains both secure and nonsure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items ? "
>
> How I do get rid of that ??. Thanks

Most likely you have an image (or a frame or some other content on the page) that is not under a https:// url.

The browser is warning that you are pulling SOMETHING required to display the page from non-secure sites (http:// - i.e. non-SSL connection to the server instead of https://).

You can view source and search for http:// and you'll likely spot it quickly, most likely you just want to use a relative URL, like /images/_ instead of http://__/images which will cause this warning.

NOTE: If you just update the links to https:///images then you'll be pulling SSL images even when the client is loading from a non-secure page, this is some extra cpu load on the client and (more importantly) the server. You probably don't want to do this if you have a high volume site. If you have a low volume site it's still not the right solution, but would work.
