SSL errors

duey · Post by **duey** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 2:54 am

The latest version of the menu (5.771) is causing a "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" error. This happened as soon as I updated the menu to 5.771; nothing else was changed, and the problem goes away if I downgrade the menu version. Can anyone else confirm this?

Do you have a URL that we can see?

I have tested this with our secure pages at https://milonic.com/cbuy.php and do not see a problem.

Technically that's not really an error, but it is annoying. It usually happens when graphics on the secure page are not actually part of the secure site; i.e., they come from a directory outside the https area.

What browser is giving you problems?

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. Yes, I realize it's not really an error...more of a warning. Nonetheless, if you run ecommerce, customers can't be seeing security warnings. Also, it doesn't happen with the older Milonic version we were using before 5.771 (5.763).

This happens only in IE 6.0 (tested in IE 6.0, IE 7.0 and FF 2.0.0.2).

The page will be turned on to the public in test mode for the rest of the day for you guys:

http://www.technic.net

Click on the "Log In/Create Account" link at the top for the SSL page. Notice that when the warning comes up, the Milonic menu is "paused" from loading (menu section is blank).

Also, I forgot to mention an unrelated (I think) problem: With this latest version, the "overbgimage" declaration (in "main_menu.js") looks like it's being ignored because the background image doesn't change on mouseover.

If this looks like it might take more than today to troubleshoot, and if it isn't too much trouble, please provide me with your IP address so that the site can be turned off to the public and you can still access it. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Following your instructions, I am NOT getting the warning message. Also, the menu comes up on the login page and is fully functional.

However, I am getting the following...

document.getElementById("email_address") has no properties
onload(load )

Can you take a look again? We're working on the site right now and earlier we briefly put the old version of the menu on to check some things. It's possible you were there when we had the old version on? Or with that javascript "email_address" error you mentioned, it sounds like you are using FF? The problem only occurs in IE 6.0.

Also, there is the other bug of "overbgimage" not working in the main menu. The main blue menu at the top has "overbgimage" declarations that are not invoked--the images stay the same when they are supposed to change on mouseover.

Thanks.

I get the same warning when I access the page you posted. Please note again that this only happens in IE 6.0.

You said IE6 in your message, and I entirely missed it. Sorry. I no longer have 6 loaded, so Ruth or Andy will have to take this.

Can you take a look, Ruth or Rudy? Thanks.

This is now fixed in the new version of the menu.

Thanks for fixing the SSL errors. I'm guessing nobody read the part I wrote above regarding the "overbgimage" not working. It's still not working in 5.772. I had to change to "image" and "overimage" for the menu to display correctly. With "bgimage" and "overbgimage", the "overbgimage" images aren't shown--on mouseover, they stay on the "bgimage" imgage. Not a big deal since I can use "image" and "overimage" as a work-around, but for others who need to use "bgimage", it's a problem.

It's on the To-Do list - the SSL problem was considered urgent and needed its own release.

Will hopefully have something later today.

Just tested things locally here on the development environment and they seem OK.

This sample: http://milonic.com/menusample20.php that uses bgimage nd overbgimage also seems to be working.

Can you please let us have a URL where we can see the problem.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy,

We're helping develop this site which is "closed" to the public. If you can provide me with an IP address, it can be added to the exclusion list so you can see the site at will. If this is too much trouble, then the site is usually "opened" for testing between 11:00pm PST and 3:00am PST. Thanks.

EDIT: Also, not sure if it's intended or not, but a bgimage/overbgimage declaration without any "text=" declaration, or without an image declaration of "transparent.gif" will result in a blank menu cell. So if someone (like us) uses a bgimage method for an image-based menu, it won't show up unless you also use "image=transparent.gif".
