nonsecure items on https page

[TroyL]

I am having a strange issue with an oscommerce install with ssl. On my https pages I am getting an error message stating there are secure and nonsecure items on my page, but this error is on Firefox, Chrome and Opera but NOT on IE 7 or 8. Spent time on the OSCommerce forum and there are no nonsecure image or script links and all my files are configured correctly (to the best of my knowledge). Could this be a cert problem? My cert is from Comodo (EssentialSSL CA, COMODO CA Limited) There was initially some issues with installing the cert as it needs an intermediate file to work properly. The link to my secured page is: https://howardsfinefoods.com/login.php Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

When I go to https://howardsfinefoods.com/login.php and click 'New Products' it is showing
http://howardsfinefoods.com/products_new.php , a non-secure page. And there are lots of http links there.

Many browsers pop up warnings about "mixed content": a page that includes content from both https and http connections. To avoid such warnings, all content intended to be served to secure pages should come from secure connections via https.

Troy,

Check your code for the page, there are several requests for images which do not exist (namely images/img_tal1.gif, tal2.gif, tal3.gif, tal4.gif, and some others), and these return a 404 page which is not https.
I don't see any other issues though offhand, so fix those bad requests and see what happens then. I'm sure it is not a certificate issue though.

Just having links to http pages wouldn't cause the error (but I imagine at some point you'll config OSCommerce to use all https).

Wayne R,

Thanks for the tip, I was able to track down the offending image and the problem is resolved. Learned something new out of this. Your a genius!
