AdSense site mixed secure/insecure content.

Could someone please fix this?

I'm getting annoyed by the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Would you like to display the nonsecure items?" message that comes up in IE every time I visit the Referrals and now Online Advertiser Sign-Up pages.

For the Referrals page, this seems to be the result of linking http:// instead of https:// for the button sample images.

For the Online Advertiser page, the best I can figure is that this is the result of not having a logo configured, and how the page's code handles that situation (specifically: <img alt="" style="display:none; margin-bottom:10px;" id="logoImg">).

It's been like that for quite awhile.

At least a few months.

It is annoying.

Under FF you can turn off display of images by domain. Since it's https and they aren't cached, I found disabling images for the adsense site speeds my life up quite satisfactorily.

I have noticed this everytime I visited the help pages. I didn't mention it because I thought I had just messed up my security settings and never got around to checking them ;)

There is a setting in IE that will stop this behavior, but I just can't put a finger on which one it is. I just know that I never see this happen in IE v6.

Play with the settings one at a time until you find it. It is in there --> somewhere.

I have IE6.0 and still have the problem.

IE 6 here too ;)

Just a little research at Microsoft Support (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=300443) found this for the "Security" settings tab:

Under the Miscellaneous heading, the "Display mixed content" setting is set to Prompt (which is the same behavior as previous versions of Internet Explorer) for all security levels, and you may receive the following "Security Information" message on the Web pages that contain both secure (https://) and nonsecure (http://) content:
This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.

Do you want to display the nonsecure items?

If the "Display mixed content" setting is set to Enable, you cannot receive the preceding message and nonsecure content can be displayed. If the "Display mixed content" setting is set to Disable, you cannot receive the preceding message and nonsecure content cannot be displayed.

I've changed the setting to "Enable" and sure enough all is well.

But since it only seems to happen on "some" pages - newer ones at that, probably created by a different person - the better solution would be for Google to actually fix their code!

(Gee, you'd think they were new to websites or something! :-)

[Tropical Island]

Is there any security risk by enabling?

[Sunflux]

Possibly... but probably not.

People, get a clue, get Firefox :D

IE is dead.
