SSL Partially Encrypted

Question

I am new to SSL. I got the standard SSL installed on my server, but when I go to my shopping cart, it says that it is only partially encrypted. Chrome even crosses HTTPS in the URL location bar. I understand that this page has links to http (images, js), so are there any tools to verify this? Workarounds? I looked manually and found 1-2 images using HTTP instead of HTTPS on this page, could this be the reason for SSL blocking? Please help, the cross-HTTPS link on the page looks worse than HTTPS in general.

I also read that it sometimes stops (showing partial SSL) .. so maybe there is a time interval or smth affecting it.

UPDATE: I understood myself ... it was javascript, using a widget (using HTTP), disabling it, solved the problem. Now I'm not sure how to close this ticket :)

Answer 1

Use schema- related URLs (they relate to the http/ part https). This makes them protocol independent and your problems must be resolved. For example, instead of:

<img src="http://example.com/path/to/image"/>

Using

<img src="//example.com/path/to/image"/>

Answer 2

Another possible cause of the error is if the iframe src attribute is set to "about: blank" programmatically. the effect is observed in ff 3.6.x and 4, i.e. 8.
