SSL Problems

Reported by Richard Cook | June 26th, 2008 @ 10:58 PM

When I am running a page that includes prototype and is using SSL, I get a "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?" I only get this error in IE (v 7.0.5730.11) and not in FireFox. When I comment out the prototype include, then the question goes away. Any help would be appreciated since we are using it throughout our website.

This usually happens when there are both secure and non-secure elements on a page. You could also turn it off in IE settings.

I use Prototype.js with SSL and have not had issues with IE.
Are you using IFRAMES or something?

Nope, no Iframes on the page. I will upload a copy of the prototype.js file that we are using.

I have done a view source on the rendered page from both IE and Firefox and copied those pages into source safe and did a dif on the file and except for whitespace, they are exactly the same.

Glad the list helped. Prototype 1.6.0.3 (the next release) will use a different method for detecting DOM loaded for IE that should avoid the issue you experienced.

Sorry for getting this thread alive again, but I don't get how to solve this SSL error, me stupid.

Please point me in the right direction.

IE version 7.0.5730.13 https://rogavi.com/ - error http://rogavi.com/ - ok
