    Exclamation My web page is giving security errors

    Hi All

    I am coding a web application, today I made some changes in the CSS classes of the anchor tag and suddenly my page started showing the following message:

    "This page contains both secure and non secure items.
    Do you want to display the nonsecure items?"

    Now first tell me how to get rid of this problem?
    and then let me know, why is this error coming at all?

    Please its urgent. Thanks

    Uh.. without knowing what you coded, where and how you coded it, it's kinda hard to tell you how to get rid of it or why it happened. Ya know?

    Hi

    Here are the CSS classes I added:

    a.nameLinks
    {
    color: #787878;
    font-size: 11px;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight:500;
    font-family: Trebuchet MS;
    }

    a.nameLinks:visited
    {
    color: #787878;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: Trebuchet MS;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight:500;
    }

    a.nameLinks:hover
    {
    color: #787878;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: Trebuchet MS;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    a.nameLinksVisited
    {
    color: #787878;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-family: Trebuchet MS;
    font-size: 11px;
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    and then I referred to the classes in the following code:

    strHTML += "<tr><td align=\"center\"><a class=\"customLinks\" href=http://www.lifereg.com/Default.aspx?url=Details_EN&language=" + language + ">" + sColumnData + "</a>";

    So, does it help?

    I may be way off with my line of thinking here, but are you using https on your page?

    yes, if the page opens on a client/public machine, the website opens as HTTPS but on the server machines it opens as HTTP only.

    but, remember, it is after i added the above classes the error started coming, before including the above mentioned CSS classes.

    Code: do you only get this error in IE or do you also see it in other browsers?

    Could it be when it calls this line:

    Code:
    strHTML += "<tr><td align=\"center\"><a class=\"customLinks\" href=http://www.lifereg.com/Default.aspx?url=Details_EN&language=" + language + ">" + sColumnData + "</a>";
    that it is seeing this as a nonsecure item, and reporting as such? I don't have too much experience with this, I am just guessing here...

    I dont think so, this line was before also, i think its related to some change that I did related to anchor tags or the CSS classes associated to it, the problem is this error doesnt come when i run it on my local machine, it is only when I host the site online, this error message is popping up, and that also in IE only.

    Its coming in all the client machines and server machines that I have. Can some just help me in getting rid of it, i can post the relevant pieces of code, if u want. There's nothin more as such in detail than the code i already provided before.

    Did you try running through something like W3C CSS Validation Service ?

    My brain is fried right now, but what is
    a.nameLinksVisited ?

    Is it different in some way then
    a.nameLinks:visited

    ( Other then the missing colon )
