Do you want to display the nonsecure item - (dialog in IE)

Posted on February 17, 2007 by bigidea

Some dialogs are necessary but this one is just crazy. The issue i came across recently involves accessing an https page that is constructed dynamically for printing purposes. It does this via an hidden IFRAME. For some reason opening the page to print caused the above dialog to appear. The solution turns out to be a simple one. Set the IFRAME tag’s SRC attribute to some dummy value.

Ex: IFRAME SRC=’nonexistantpage.html’

    There could be a number of reasons but accessing http instead of https is the most common.

    Could you post some code where this is occuring?
