Internet Explorer - error messages

Internet explorer gives error message like

"The page contains both secure and non secure item, do you want to display non secure item"

In this situation, when i click yes or no, nothing display in the page. Page cannot be display error, or Action cancelled error.

I suspect this error because of iframe, currently i am using iframe.

My iframe is
String mainFrame ="abc.do?event=search&clearSearch=true";

<iframe name="adminframe" width="100%" height="100%" src="<%=mainFrame%>" name="main" frameborder="no"></iframe>

Is there any solution to bypass that error message. Or how to change the iframe

Thanks in advance

It sounds like you have two issues.

The first is a normal warning that will happen any time to link to non-secure resources (images, etc..) from a secure page.
Also an empty "src" attribute in an image tag or iframe will cause that.

Second, once you agree, it sounds like your app is blowing up.
MSIE will hide the real error messages coming from the server for you.
To change this, click on Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and uncheck the "Show Friendly HTTP Errors" item. You may need to restart the browser for this to take effect.

I see no JSP dimension to this question. Moved to the HTML forum.

Your iframe needs to be in the https domain along with all of the images, style sheets, JavaScript files, and so on.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://zeroturnaround.com/jrebel - it saves me about five hours per week
