Secure site contains secure and unsecure items

[William Watson]

Most of the time clients have SSL installed on their sites come across following problem,

I have my own certificate (SSL) but when accessing certain areas of my site via https:// I get the popup message below (using Internet Explorer). Does this mean that my site is note entirely secured?

This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.
Do you want to display the nonsecure items?

Reasons :

When your certificate is applied to your domain name your entire site is secured via SSL. The error message will come up:

1) If you are calling a page via http:// and not https:// in your frames,
2) If you are calling an image not on your site or domain (such as a third party hit counter)
3) If within your code you are referencing images or pages not via SSL or not with your full domain (example if in your code you are calling images or pages using your IP address or domain name. In this case you should always use relative paths and not domain name or IP's when calling images or pages in your code.

Solution :
By removing any reference to unsecured pages or files in your HTML will resolve the issue.

Thanks for clearing that one up William. I've always wondered why it does this on Google Mails login page...

[William Watson]

The https://mail.google.com is always redirecting to https://www.google.com/accounts/Serv...h?service=mail and I haven't noticed this on Google Mails login page. But if it is there then reasons are same what I have mentioned above

Hmmm, its not doing it for me now also. I always seemed to do it while loading the graphic around the login box. Maybe they fixed it.
