SSL, PDF, Javascript Security Issue

[Sandeep]

Hello All,

I have a site written in ASP/VB COM and setup completly over https.
Browser is IE 6.

I am doing a post from one page to another using
document.formna me.submit. This works fine throughout the system.

In one of the ASP pages a pdf is displayed with content(inline) . So
when the post is done to this page, the "The page contains secure and
insecure items. Do you want to display the non-secure items." message
gets displayed. Irrespective of selection of "Yes" or "No" the pdf is
displayed correctly.

Any ideas how i can fix this problem.

Thanks in advance.

It is not a JavaScript security issue but a useful browser security warning.
If you don't want it, you may disable the warning with the browser's prefs.

Thanks Thomas for your time.

Since this is a Internet Site, Client Browser Setting would be
un-acceptable.

I also tried the Accept-Ranges: bytes in http header on the server and
it did not work.

Appricate any other suggestions.

Thanks,

This has nothing to do with your problem.

Put a hyperlink to the PDF file in the document, or switch
entirely either to HTTP or HTTPS.

AFAIS the microsoft.publi c.internetexplo rer hierarchy is dead.
X-Post & F'up2 microsoft.publi c.inetexplorer. ie4.security
