Secure Error

Twinkle · #1 22-07-2009, 02:03 PM

Hi

I have developed the website http://www.ozarrivals.com.au using Firefox and ie6 as the test browsers. Earlier today I tested it on an ie5 browser and the following message showed in a popout. I have been searching on the internet on how to fix this. I am new in developing in PHP and there is no database involved.

Message Box shows:
Security Alert
You are about to leave a secure Internet connection. It will be possible for others to view information you send.
Click Yes or No

Could it be that all my files are in the root directory?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, once this is ready the site can be reviewed.

Thanks
Twinkle

Twinkle,

You could happily ignore it, it is not an error.

Even if it was, the few IE5 users left make up about 0.03% of the population.

Do you use SSL on your site? I could not see any?

Neverthless, there are IE5 clients out there. I will look into the https images, as they from the affiliate link. I will see what happens when I remove the link. Thanks

I've decided to use wordpress again, until the problem is sorted out in testing. Thank you to those who responded.

Yep, and FF and Opera and Chrome and Safari and etc etc. This is a useful link to keep, they update it all the time.

its nothing to do with the browser, read the message.

This means you are going from an secure connection (HTTPS) to a non secure connection (HTTP)
