GoDaddy Site Seal error

[bruceb]

Hello.

I've installed the GoDaddy Site Seal on my site (it shows that my site is using an SSL from GoDaddy), and I examined the JavaScript, and this is what I see:


[quote]


if (BrowserDetect.browser == 'Explorer' && BrowserDetect.version >= '7') {

// use the following line to get the new root certificate for Godaddy

document.write('<img src="https:\\\\10.255.1.12\\images\\spacer.gif"/>');

// use the following line to get the new root certificate for Starfield
// document.write('<img src="https:\\\\10.255.1.12\\images\\spacer.gif"/>');

} </CODE>
which means that anyone using an IE7 will see this error.

Can anyone explain this? 10.255.1.12 is not a valid IP!

Hmm.. this is weird!


Have you contacted GoDaddy regarding this?

Yes, and they "couldn't duplicate the error". But, that doesn't help.


Is this an un-documented trick to "use the following line to get the new root certificate"?


By the way, I used FireBug (FireFox add on to inspect the file).

the ip address is definitely not reachable. I guess the only one that can fix this problem is godaddy.

I've emailed them, and as I see now, they changed the script and took it out.
