I am having this security Alert coming even after the SSL
certification.
I amsure that Iam not grabbing images outside the SSL
certifcated area.

The security aler when i view it is of snakeoil.
The problemis that if it continues to come it will cause
lot of problem as most of the buyer will not come to the
site.
Thanking in Advance

This is completely controlled by the user's settings and is not under your
control at all. In IE, the user herself can get rid of this message by
checking the box that's right on the popup screen that says "In the future,
do not show this warning."

I am 99% sure that if this particular user is getting this message on your
secure page, they are also getting it on every other secure page out there,
including when checking their web-based email, doing online banking or
shopping, etc. So, hopefully they are used to this message. I'm 99% sure
that not everyone will be getting this message, because some people have
already gotten rid of this message by choosing the proper option.

I"m not sure that IE with the default settings give you this message. If
this is true, then only people who [foolishly?] changed that setting would
get the messages.

In IE 5.x, check Tools, Options, Advanced, Security, Warn if changing
between secure and not secure mode. Should be unchecked to get rid of the
messages.
