    Don't shoot me if this is totally wrong...

    I had some issue with a website I built with CSS. When I launched it locally, from the hard drive, usb or cd, IE would complain about ActiveX. After the site was posted. I could visit the same coded page and IE could've cared less.

    No. I didnt but i'll go thru it.

    My brain is fried right now, but what is
    a.nameLinksVisited ?
    a.nameLinksVisited is a separate class that I designed. Please dont get confused by the name, this class is applied to content on a certain condition and not when a link is visited. At the end, I am adding the code, that may help you get rid of this confusion.

    Is it different in some way then
    a.nameLinks:visited
    ( Other then the missing colon )
    Please see the code below:

    Code:
    if (memberName.ToLower().Equals(sColumnData.ToLower()))
                            strHTML += "<a class=\"nameLinksVisited\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\" href=http://www.lifereg.net/Default.aspx?folderurl=Detailed_CV_FR&language=" + language + "&name=" + sColumnData.Replace(" ", "_") + ">" + sColumnData + "</a>";
                        else
                            strHTML += "<a class=\"nameLinks\" STYLE=\"text-decoration: none\" href=http://www.lifereg.net/Default.aspx?folderurl=Detailed_CV_FR&language=" + language + "&name=" + sColumnData.Replace(" ", "_") + ">" + sColumnData + "</a>";
    I hope this will clear your doubts. So, what can be done now?

    To the best of my knowledge, if you are using https you need to call all assets as https or you will that message about mixed secure and insecure items. Calling an asset straight http will make Explorer print that message - which makes sense because if you're behind https you want to know that everything's secure.

    Cheers,

    Did that. still Not working.

    I did some more searches, and I found out this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925014

    Can some one tell how to get rid of this now? Should I have different CSS designs for IE and the other browsers?

    Post the entire page or a link to it. You're definitely loading content through http on https page.

    Problem solved. The problem was exactly according to the problem mentioned in the above link. And it was due to the loading process of the background images. Followed the Solution Method 2 in there and poof the problem was gone.
