When I go to an SSL enabled page that I just made, on a newly SSL enabled Cobalt server, I get a message:

"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items.

Do you want to display the nonsecure items?"

I just can't figure out what this means. Any help would be VERY appreciated.

If you try to secure a page which contains links that are linked as 'http://', you will get that pop up window, unless all outgoing links are linked as 'https://'.
Try to make a blank page secure, and see if it will work.

You're browser will only report this if it has to load objects via http instead of https. Check through your source and search for "http://" to see if you are referencing any non-secure objects.

If the objects are being loaded from your server, just use relative URL's (e.g. "../images/myimage.gif").

Also, be wary of javascript in secure pages, as IE5.5 flags them as not secure (not sure why!)

Guys! Thank you both very much :) this solved the problem.

This commonly occurs when you have flash movies on a secure page. See the following link for more information:

Oh wow! This brings back memories! 6PS, I think you're about 4 years too late with the answer, but it's appreciated nevertheless!

Someone was having a problem like this and I found that article. They referenced this post and I thought I would drop that URL in....

Hey I think it's great. :--)

I am about 1/2 asleep :) I just looked at the post... I can't believe that thing was made in 2000!
