Hi there,
I am opening a pop-up page with a frame set on SSL.
I keep getting a non-secure/secure items confirmation dialog box.
Can I avoid this or override this box.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Regards,
Brian Hamill

Brian,
If the security warning is:
You are about to switch from secure to insecure
You are about to switch from insecure to secure
there is nothing you can do. This is a message that pops up for new users
in most browsers, and can usually be disabled in the browser's preferences.
If the security warning is:
This page contains both secure and non-secure items,
do you want to display the non-secure items?
you can avoid this message by making sure that all images, pages, applets,
plugins etc. all come from the same secure or insecure connection. In other
words, if the page is located at
https://www.yourdomain.com/mypage.html
you should use
<img src="images/myimage.gif">
not
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/myimage.gif">
as this forces the browser to display an insecure image on a secure page.
Hope you find this useful, but if I have missed the point, feel free to
mail me again with a few more details and I will see what I can do.

Many thanks for your time Tarquin
I managed to get round it by giving one of my frames a blank html page as
its source.
As I was using one of my frames to create the second frame, but not giving
one of my frames an initial source.
This works as a clean workaround.
regards,
Brian
