This page contains both secure and nonsecure items popup

Hi,
I have page on a website I developed (It's form confirmation page). When I
displayed in form I get the "This page contains both Secure and nonsecure"
popup. it displays twice for this one page which makes the make a hassle for
the users.

How do I "secure" the items for that this popup does not show... I believe
that these are from some graphics on the page and a confirmation field from
the form.

Thanks rob

All links to images, etc. on the page must be relative hyperlinks, ie, "../images/imagename.gif" or
they must be absolute, ie, "https://www.domainname.com/images/imagename.gif"

Hi -
When I look at the picture properties , it has
images/RotatingBaseball.gif
as the Picture ? Is this what you were refering to...

Is there a way to tell FP to make them a relative hyperlink ?

By default FP, will always create links a relative when you have a web / site open.

"images/RotatingBaseball.gif" is a relative hyperlink

What else do you have on this page, any external hyperlinks?

Hi,
This page was working fine.. I added a confirmation field and it broke. I
since have deleted the confirmation field and its still broke.

What is on the page is a link bar, couple gifs, some text, a sound byte and
an link to someones email (hyperlink to an email address). When I say "NO"
to display unsecure items, the gifs, italized text, link bar do not display

I have tried using the tool --> recalulate hyperlinks - no luck......

One more thing... I have about 10 pages in this site and this is the only
page that this happens to... I also use these sames graphics on other pages...

Thanks Rob

Is the form open under https as well as the confirmation page?

I think I found the problem... Tell me what you think ..

In checking the form properties, the confirmation page just has the page
name and is not an absolute link - Could that be my problem ?

Since you are not really asking for any personal info or credit card info, why are you calling the
form via https?

Remove this line in HTML / Code View of your page:

<base href="http://home.insightbb.com/~rob_evelyn/2005ConfirmationPage.htm">


This line may also cause the problem, but unless you remove the VML function from your page, you
can't remove this:

<html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:eek:="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

The confirmation page link is fine, since it is in the same folder/location as the form.

Thomas,
Thanks For your help... when I viewed the page in code mode, the "base" line
was not in the code. When I went to the page online I saw the "base".

So since 1+1=5 I decided to take a chance and added a "base" in the Code
view with https://etc etc etc and that has solved my issue.

As to why I am using https is that my hosting place insists that all site
use https in order to use any frontpage extensions... Dont know why...

Thanks Again =

Please send me an email at (e-mail address removed)

Rob

Glad the you have it solved.

You need to look for a new hosting provider, as using https will stop the major search engines from
indexing your site.
