Security Information error in Internet Explorer
PROBLEM:
I am using flash in my website as part of my template. Firefox works just fine.
However, when users go to checkout using Internet Explorer they are presented
with the following Security Information error message:
"This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the
nonsecure items?"
---"Yes / No / More Info"
Clicking either Yes or No will still display the content correctly.
SOLUTION:
The CODEBASE attribute of the OBJECT tag points to the Macromedia Flash Player
ActiveX Control download on Macromedia's web site. Internet Explorer will
display this dialog box only if the web site is hosted on an https:// server,
and the url in the CODEBASE tag points to Macromedia's standard http:// server.
The reason why Firefox does not display this message is because Firefox doesn't
use the OBJECT tag, but does use the EMBED tag.
Developers should modify the OBJECT tag to point to the secure Macromedia Flash
Player ActiveX Control location (by adding "s" to the end of "http". The rest of
the URL remains the same):
e.g. codebase="
https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
Modifying the codebase attribute will prevent end users from being confused by
the Security Information dialog box.
