If your Web page includes non-secure images — that is, if you use image links beginning with http:// instead of https:// — some browsers will show a warning message.

Each Web browser handles this situation differently. Some browsers may ask if you want to display the nonsecure items, for example. Others may tell you that that the page is only "partially secure". In many cases, the "padlock icon" in the browser may not fully activate.

To prevent this from happening, simply make sure that none of your image links begin with "http://" (you can replace it with "https://" or use relative links instead).

I'm not using non-secure image links. Why do I still see the warning message?

Another potential cause of "partially secure" pages is the base href HTML tag. If your SSL Web page uses "base href", make sure the URL begins with "https://", not "http://".

Also, check to see if any of the page's <script> tags use http:// sources.

More generally, if you examine the "source code" of a page that has this problem, it should not include "http://" at all.
