Security Certificate Errors: Secure and Nonsecure Items

"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?".
      - Internet Explorer 6/7

This error is produced by Internet Explorer when content (e.g., an image or java script) on a secure website is being loaded through a non-secure source. When viewing the page's source code, you will notice that content on the site is being loaded through "http://" rather than "https://".

When users with Internet Explorer access the website, they will get the warning "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?"

To resolve the problem, you will need to replace the standard http references on your website so that objects are loaded instead through https. Any content that cannot be loaded securely should not be loaded to that website if you do not want users to experience the error.

Though Firefox does not display an error, it will show a red line through the standard golden lock icon, showing that the page is displaying secure and non-secure content.
