[thelist] secure/insecure elements

When you have a page that references items both by HTTPS and HTTP, you'll
get that, at least in IE.  For example, if you have two images:

<img src="https://www.yourdomain.com/images/image1.gif ... />
and
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/image2.gif ... />

You'll get that error.  Or, if you hit a page like:

https://www.yourdomain.com/index.htm

and that page references things with HTTP instead of HTTPS, you'll get that
warning.  Could be images, external scripts, style sheets, etc.

HTH,
Greg

Question:

In what cases for what browsers will the user be given a warning like "this
page contains both secure and insecure elements"?

Kinda related:

When requiring basic authentication for a directory (IIS 5), IE 5 Mac
sometimes asks for the login multiple times as the page loads and it really
irritates me ... I haven't noticed this with any other browser ... why does
this happen?
