This also helped me but we have thousands of workstation that just started having this problem. Does anybody know if this was caused by a MS security patch or something like that? It is driving me crazy as well. This is only a problem with IE. Firefox and Safari are fine.

Forgive the parroting of previous posters... but... Thank you for posting this. I have been annoyed by that darned pop-up warning for FAR TOO LONG! All I had to do is google the problem, and find your site. Your advice worked like a charm. Thank you once again.

After reading the comments, I realized what
was causing the problem. I am testing a new
page on a secure web site. But I left my
base anchor specification to point to a file on
my local "C" drive.

By changing my new page's HREF in the element to point back to the website I was able to eliminate the nagging messages.

I have references to both HTTP and HTTPS on my
web page, all going back to the original website.
It does not cause that nagging message. It probably (among other causes) occurs if the page has a reference is to some location outside of the website from which the origianl page comes.

"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" THANK you! This worked EXACTLY as the article described. And it was immediate. I opened a tab and surfed to a site I use MANY times daily where I got that inane prompt. I did not get it after following the aritcle simple steps. ALL "fixes" should be this easy and this effective!

I'm not an expert on this, but basically, if you pages pull non http content such as an image or a script, that error message will pop up.

Basically, just ensure images don't have full paths such as (img src="http://somepath.gif"> and scripts aren't included such as .

Instead, replace all paths with relatives ones. This means they will adopt whichever http protocol currently in use. If, you have to specify a full path, try using https. However, keep in mind there will be advanced reason you will have to learn about why this may or may not work.

There may also be other nonsecure elements I'm not thinking on your pages that might cause the popup.

Best of luck.

does anyone, anywhere have an answer to this very large problem? It drives potential customers away. It is because of Google Adsense. They don't have a solution either. They need to make sure ads on a secure sight are only from secure sites. I have an SSL certificate, and a privacy policy. I have contacted Microsoft, and even they don't have an answer.

Hi,

SOLVED?!?!

Long story short, to eliminate, as a user, that annoying 'secure or non-secured' popup make sure to ENABLE ALL four occurences of Display Mixed Content, i.e.: Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, Restricted Sites.

Worked like a charm.

Good luck.

I get this (I think) because of a Flash element that I have placed on the page. The codebase URLs are http; not sure yet if there is a secure site to DL these codebases.

What I do not understand is how a site like Amazon.com can have both http:// and https:// links on a https:// page.
When you go to their Sign In page you are brought to a secure page but the links surrounding the sign-in form are http:// can someone explain how this is done without that secure/unsecure items popup appearing? Thx.

Jane's comment (probably above mine), caught my eye because the same thing's been happening when I go to login at yahoo.

It's really annoying, and I thought it was just me. Apparently not!
Nice to know why it's happening now, though.

Hi,

I have experienced a security pop up on my website, each time I open a new page. Our site is over 1300 pages in size, this has caused some active members to vanish. What could I do to get rid of the SSL security error altogether, without having to ask each member to reconfigure their browser settings?

I read somewhere about the https:// verses using http:// I am very new to this sort of thing. I would like a very secure website, although can there be such a thing as too secure?

Thanks
If you don't respond, its okay.
If you can check out my website, I would pay, LOL. I'm really getting frustrated with this. Its one stop write shop. I will add a link there for your business when our resource page is up and running, too. If you don't mind, thank you.

PS. I read the rules, so if you cannot keep my comment up, its okay. Just needing some help with this issue before I go bazerk. href="http://www.onestopwriteshop.com">http://www.onestopwriteshop.com

How can I know which elements causes such warning. I have analyzed all elements in my page, and all elements in the page are access over https but still I get secured and nonsecure warning in IE6. I would appreciate if you can tell me some tool to analyze pages.

In the "Select a zone..." window select Internet and Trusted (Local if you wish). If you only select Internet, then sites you add to your Trusted list will still warn you that it is a security risk.

Me: Internet Explorer, I trust website [whatever].

Internet Explorer: OK. Hey this "trusted" site has mixed content, are you sure you want to display it?

This happens if you use secure google, https://mail.google.com/ but if you search the page, there are no "http://" connections present....so as someone pointed out, they must be linking to an "unsecure" image within one of their .js or .css files...

The solution our company has entered into its FAQ is as follows --

CAUSE: The page you are attempting to view is a secured site (note the https in the URL prefix) but it contains unsecured data.

SOLUTION:
1. When you receive the error message, click Yes.
2. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options, Security tab; make sure that in Select a Web content zone... that Internet is selected.
3. Click Custom Level and scroll down about half way to Display mixed content in the Miscellaneous section.
4. Change it from Prompt to Enable.
5. Click OK, Yes, OK. The change should take effect immediately.

Hi. Be sure to check your external stylesheets for non-secure references to images.

For example, we were using a stylesheet (with a https page) that loaded http://www.csun.edu/images/arrow.gif as a separator in a list. Changing that to ../images/arrow.gif made the annoying message go away in IE.

I cannot get rid of this message in IE 7. I have a secure web page that displays non-secure image files. The image files are on the local client hard drive, so I know of no way to make them secure within the web page. No setting of IE 7 seems to disable this warning message. I do not want my users to have to see this message with every refresh of the page. Does anyone have a solution to this issue?

There is a really cool fix for this at http://www.htaccesselite.com/htaccess/fix-for-warning-page-contains-secure-and-nonsecure-items-vt129.html

Basically you can use mod_rewrite in an htaccess file to internally redirect https:// to http:// so that you can post https://x.com/image.gif to eliminate the warning message, but the server will internally request http://x.com/image.gif instead!

Not sure if it's relevant. But my site was giving this error, until i'd made my 'include' folder run under SSL, as well as my main folder.
So, check the code insecure links, and then double check all folders in the website are using ssl.

oh, made mistake...
I use XSL to Transform XML into HTML. In my xsl stylesheet, I have : ""
I can't take off this line, so I'm not sure this is the reason... oh oh i'm lost...

Hi Everyone !

Same problem... I use Javascript to change the Iframe URL :
Iframe.src = url; The url I get is for example : "index.php5?this=that". This is relative. Is it secure or not ? Can the problem come from this?
Please...
THX !

Caro

This was a really useful info I got rid of this popup by giving an empty.html file path to the IFrame which was having no src while the page was loading for the first time. Thanks for all ur help guys. Thank you very much

Frankly, this is a stupid warning. It scares users for no reason. There is nothing wrong with having secure and unsecure content on your page. The problem is when your url in the address bar is secure but the form your submitting is unsecure. That's when the warning should be displayed.

There is a very seldom chance that you need to secure images on you page. I.e. Why would you ever need to secure your logo? It doesn't make sense. There is no need to encrypt images, stylesheets, javascript.

Using ssl only encrypts your content as it's passing through the network. The reason why you would encrypt your content is because you don't want people to see it if they're sniffing. Yes, they won't see the content with their packet sniffer, however, that is not good enough. They can just take the url and paste it in the browser. In order for your content to be truely secure you need to develop some authentication system around it. So that if someone tries to access your content such as an image it will prompt them for authentication. Putting authentication on every image on your page is "stupid" unless every image has critical information.

This Internet Explorer feature vexes me.

Thanks, Marcio. Not having a src was my problem. I added "blank.html" (nothing in the file except beginning and ending html tags) to the same folder as the file (so that it is within the secure site) and assigned the src attribute to it. Problem resolved!

Thanks also to Leo for the good site and solution.

Bob

You'll probably need to reinstall Microsoft Office to get Microsoft Word back.

Hi everybody..

I was facing the same problem mencioned above.

It was caused by an IFRAME I put on my page to have a DIV over a SELECT box. The problem was that my IFRAME didn't have a secure SRC target (actually, it was left blank ;p), so it is treated as a "nonsecure item".

I just could get free from that boring message by adding a SRC URL to the IFRAME.

I hope, it'll be useful!

Hi Leo,

I am a site developer. There are good reasons why there may be a mix of secure and unsecure elements within a page. For example, within a secure part of a site i developed, i have references to google maps, who - as far as i'm aware - do not offer a secure equivalent to their service (and even if they do, other services don't, so the argument prevails).

Even if you implement the the "brute force" method of segregating all secure information from insecure information (which may not make sense to the user), and then designating every page (of hundreds of pages) as secure or unsecure, you may still have users receive the "you are entering/leaving a secure page" type of message. If there is a not-"bad site design" that can get around this issue, i'm not aware of it.

And besides, users are already trusting me to properly handle their secure information. There are much easier ways for me to abuse that trust then to explicitly put links to unsecure services in my pages. This message is just a nuisance.

I tried to use the settings given by Gaurav, but it clears for one level of hierarchy in pages, if you go deep inside page by page and you find pop-ups then it is not working.

Is there any script to be pasted in every non-secure page?

Microsoft says this is a known issue and has issued a hotfix for it (I don't know if it works and it also requires some registry tweaking), but its only good for Windows XP, 2000, etc, and does not apply to Windows ME and before. Guess which OS I have.
I have enabled all the above mentioned and even enabled them in all the other zones and it still comes back.

To stop getting this message, do the following :
1) Open the browser
2) Go to Tools->Internet Options
3) Click on the security tab.
4) Click on Custom Level
5) In this list, Look for " Display Mixed Content" and click on enable
6) Then look for "Launching programs and files in an IFRAME' and click on enable.
7) Click on OK and then OK again
8) Close all Internet explorer windows

The problem is generally caused by an iframe on the page. iframes are used under popups to ensure that dropdowns don't paint over the popup (another IE bug).

Leo, I found the answer. I discovered that, on the Security tab in Internet Options, I had to make this configuration under "Restricted Sites" also, not just under "Internet" or "Trusted Sites." The problem occurred at games.com where I play Monopoly. I like your site. Very nice that one doesn't have to sign up or login to comment. Thank you very much.

My problem is that I keep getting the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" warning even though "Enable" IS checked in the "Miscellaneous" section of the Security tab of Internet Options. Can anyone tell me what further step I must take to get rid of the nuisance warning?

I understand the bad design part, but mine happens on an old Compaq,win 98 os,trying to log into ms hotmail. I think there is a security setting that is off. I didn't have the problem until I went to a comcast cable modem and networked 2 home computers togather.

I am having the same issue, but it only shows up in IE, and it happens when I mouse over a popup menu written in javascript. I can not figure out a way to correct this. You would think that a javascript funtion call would be secure, it is of course on the same site as the rest of the pages and in the same folder.

for developers:

from a secure site .i.e https:// - where you reference the codebase for macromedia change the codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave...... to codebase="https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave..... and this will sort the problem out
