[nycphp-talk] Secure/insecure items

Deidra,

The only "issue" I have with that is that the page in question is part
of a set of DreamWeaver templates so...if my client decides to change
the template then this particular page would have to be changed by hand.
However, if this is the only way to eliminate the problem...so be it.

Thank you and everyone for your speedy replies.

Jeff

Don't use a relative path. Hardcode everything with the absolute URL,
i.e.
https://... etc.

I know that the way our files are setup; all of the files (secure and
unsecure) are in the same directory. However, to use them for a secure
page, I have to call the files through a secure server using absolute
URLS. If I forget an element and leave it relative, i.e. javascript
include, then I receive those "some items are insecure" messages.
