G'Day all,
A number of you are no doubt using JavaScript to differentiate between
multiple links/buttons posting from a single form. Something like...
function goPost(factoreAction) {
document.forms['factoreDataForm'].method = 'post';
document.forms['factoreDataForm'].factoreAction.value = factoreAction;
document.forms['factoreDataForm'].submit();
}
Now, if you try doing this in IE5.5 with SSL, you get a warning about
'posting a mixture of secure and insecure data'. There *are* potential
security issues that should result in this message (eg posting to
another/non-encrypted site within the JS) but clearly that is not the case
here...
FYI the Barclaycard site and a number of others are also displaying this
message.
Anyone think of a workaround for this? Regardless of whether it is or is not
a Microsoft bug there is no way we can release software throwing out
security warnings. I was thinking tiny Java applets to do the post.
This is specific to IE5.5 only- no other MS or Netscape browsers are
affected.
Regards, Paul
