SSL pages and IE - warning message?

[justinhill]

Being a Mac user, I developed my shop using Catalog on a PC, but checked the pages on my Mac. I'm sure I did check it on a PC as well but maybe I didn't. Anyway, I've noticed that on IE7 on my Vista PC, going to checkout (which runs in SSL) produces the warning message:

"This page contains both secure and non-secure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items?"

on EVERY checkout page. It does it on IE6 on XP as well, by the way.

This is boring of course. I've looked at it and I can't see what the non-secure items are. If I answer 'no' or 'yes' to the question, the screen still looks the same. I really need to get rid of this message.

Justin,

It's your Google Analytics code causing the warning message, you need to use the secure version of the code which you can find on the Analytics help pages.

Should look something like this:-

<script src="https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">

</script><script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-XXXXXX-X";
urchinTracker();
</script>

Blimey, Dave - nice one. I'll have a look at that tonight.

That would explain why I didn't have a problem when I was testing - the google stuff was the last thing I did.

Thanks!

No probs Justin. Might also be worth moving the code to the bottom of the page (just before your </body> tag) so that your page will load first, just in case there is any problems at Googles end that might cause page load issues.

That's done it. Thanks again.

See what you mean about google slowness potentially delaying the pages opening. Being a simple soul and new to Actinic, I put the google thing just above </head> in 'Layout Code - Works Best with Executive', which I guess should mean I'm tracking every page. Is that not a good place to put it?

As dave says its best at the bottom of the page

in the same file? After /body? Sorry - still getting to grips with these files.

I'll go and do that right now. It's just I thought I remembered when I looked at it the first time it said to put it outside the body.
