I have a blog on a secure blogging site, Typepad. I've discovered
that I can link my blog to cds that I'm listening to & want viewers to
see. My problem is that when I link to jpgs located on the non secure
portion of the Amazon.com site I get constant & repeated "Do you want
to display nonsecure content on this page?" If I say "no," my page
will not display properly (no jpegs). If I say yes, it does.
My secure blogging site (or is this the fault of IE?) does not seem to
want to accept content fr. the non secure website. I know that
there's a good reason that this precaution exists. But it's driving
me crazy.
Typepad (my blog service) staff suggested that by going into IE
security settings and enabling the "Show mixed content" option that
this would end the messages. But I did that & they haven't ended.
NOw the Typepad staff say that there must be something wrong with my
browser settings. But I just can't believe this because I've linked
hundreds to times on several sites I own to jpgs housed on external
sites and this has never happened. Typepad is suggesting that I
switch browsers to Mozilla/Firebird, which may not be a bad idea
(though I know very little about it). But it seems like a way of
fobbing off the problem onto the browser, which I'm not sure deserves
the blame.
I have another idea...what if I upload the jpegs into my Typepad site
so that the jpgs reside within the site instead of externally to it.
Would that resolve the problem?
Let me know if you can think of any other way I can get these messages
to stop.
