Postcode Anyhere and SSL

[Martin]

Hi

My checkout pages of my website use SSL.

When I customer goes to the checkout pages they get a messsage "Do you wish to view unsecure items on this page" or something like that.

If they say No, the Postcode Anywhere lookup button isn't shown, obviouse really.

Is this a question for Postcode Anywhere, I have looked on their website but couldn't find anything regarding ssl.

Before I call them, has anyone got around this little problem?

Thanks

Martin

Is the button downloaded from their website, rather from within the secure area of yours?

[Martin]

It is their default button.

Yes, but do you show it using a link to their web address, or have you downloaded the button image into your site folder and used the local image?

Simple change your http in the script to https.

Martin, on your secure pages, if your links (external at that) go off to other places and get things they need, then these messages flag up as that part will not be secure. When you are provided with a link of a company to use, the link includes the html which will download the graphic from their site. This is where things usually fail. To combat this save a copy of the image within your own site, so that you do not need to go off to theirs to get it each time. Change the reference to it also so that it knows that it resides on your site.

This also has the advantage that if there site goes down, you can still have the image. If your site goes down, then you are buggered anyway and noone can use anything.

On secure pages, everything must come from a secure area, otherwise you can't say that things are secure.

Thanks, I thought of that but didn't dare think it would be that simple.
