Secure and unsecure items

Rails
1

Hi,

I host a secure ruby on rails appplication over https (at textdrive).
All worked fine, untill I started using the javascript library ‘lowpro’
with some additional script which does adjusts some layout when I resize
the browser through window.onload & window.onresize events.

Now I get a “this page contains both secure and unsecure items” popup in
IE6 for every page.

I’ve always used relative paths, and I am using relative paths now also.
I used javascript libraries ‘effects’, ‘dragdrop’ & ‘controls’ before
and I also use several AJAX requests. I never got this popup before.

Does anyone have a clue why I have this problem now?

Thanks,
Bas

Any chance that your Javascript file is not being served from the https
site?

Thanks for your response, but that was not the problem. Bit I did find
the reason however:

I use the lowpro.js library which defines the ‘Event.addBehaviour’
method.
The popup was triggered by this piece of javascript (which is served
over https):

-----------START CODE----------------------------
Event.addBehavior({
‘#content’ : function() {
MyFunctions.resize_content()
},

‘body’ : function () {
$(document.body).setStyle( {
overflow: ‘hidden’
} );
}

});
-----------END CODE------------------------------

I now worked aroud this code with the following setup:

-----------START CODE----------------------------
var MyFunctions = {

//....

init_on_load: function() {
   MyFunctions.hide_body_overflow()
   MyFunctions.resize_content()
}

};
window.onload = MyFunctions.init_on_load
-----------END CODE------------------------------

Not the IE6 popup is gone.

Bas
