This will happen if ANYTHING is accessed by a nonsecure protocol, even
so much as a single banner from another site.

You did say all links were relative, though
Anything offsite being accessed through that JS?
Or maybe are you loading images for flyover changes?
That *might* count as nonsecure, though I don't know the internal implementation

Re: Frames & Javascript -> insecure?

There are 2 things you can do.

1. Go into the Internet Browser properties (advanced)  Remove the check box
on "Warn if changing between secure and not secure mode.

2. We also had to change all of our URI's to use full pathnames including
the https...  This was especially the case with forms and cgi scripts.

I hope this helps.

Re: Frames & Javascript -> insecure?

2000-07-28 Thread Lee Feigenbaum

I did check everything, and everything is being served via HTTPS
(everything is specified relative to the main frameset pages, which are
all https). In fact, Netscape lists the individual images as being secure,
but all of the .html components of the page are listed as 'Status
unknown'.

Thanks for the suggestion, though,
Lee

You get this if ANY of the elements of the page (eg, images) are delivered 
via an insecure method (http://, file://, etc).  Make sure that *all*

Frames & Javascript -> insecure?

2000-07-28 Thread Lee Feigenbaum

Hi Everyone,

I've searched the archives and FAQ for the answer to this, to no avail.

I have a page on my site that has one frameset with two frames, one of
which is a frameset with two more frames (yah, i know, frames are evil
yadda yadda). 

The outermost frameset is called with a secure URL, and all of the  tags use only relative URIs. Nevertheless, when viewed on IE
the page gives the warning "this page contains both secure and insecure
elements" - it's not an IE specific bug, as Netscape's security summary
says the same thing - listing the individual page elements in Netscape
shows that it thinks that the html pages, all of which it correctly lists
as https:// have:

Security: Status unknown

One of the frames does use Javascript (ya, i know, javascript is as evil
as frames, yadda yadda) extensively to write to another frame; I don't
know if it's the frames or the Javascript (or something completely
different?) that's causing this problem... which is why I'm coming here
for advice :)

TIA,
Lee
