"Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely?

Discussion in 'General troubleshooting' started by dhynesok, Jun 15, 2011.

  1. I have recently installed the RapidSSL certificate on our site (yourpetworld.com). In the SSL Management panel, it indicates SSL Status: Your SSL certificate is installed. So it appears the SSL certificate has been successfully installed.
    Whenever I go to a page on the website using https://www.yourpetworld.com/"page-name", in IE7 & IE8 I get a popup displaying "Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delievered securely?" This gives the visitor the idea that at least part of the page is not secure and may prevent them from wanting to proceed further.
    I do not get this popup message in Firefox 4.0.
    The idea of the SSL certificate and the https:// designation of a page is to give the visitor confidence their data is protected. This popup in IE7 & IE8 gives a different impression.
    Is there any way to avoid this popup warning in Internet Explorer?
    Thanks, David
     
  2. SSL has been successfully installed and is working correctly but there is regular http content in your pages causing this message / error. i.e. the home page of the site includes:
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=dhynesok"></script>
    and
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
    Fix these types of problems and the message will go away.
     
  3. I do find the the second entry you've listed (src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/...) but not the first entry. The second one is code to display Google Ads.
    So Google Ads are considered dangerous?
     
  4. Well, I removed the src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/... entry from the Home page and I still get the popup message.

    It isn't a question of danger, it's secure vs. insecure. If you can feed the Google ads via https, then you can keep them there and avoid the warning.
     
  6. It's still there and causing the warnings to appear.
