[cobalt-developers] Internet Explorer 5.5 and Cobalt UI

["Jose Luis Aguilar" <jlaguilar@xxxxxxx>]

Cobalt Developers,

I recently installed Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 on a Windows 2000
workstation. Since then, the Cobalt UI navigation buttons stopped working in
SSL mode (from this workstation).

Whenever I click on them, the explorer says that the page contains a mix of
secure and insecure items. If I don't authorize it to show the insecure
items, I get a "Navigation Cancelled" page instead of the new navigation
bar. If I authorize it, it changes to non-ssl mode and it shows everything
fine.

Navigation buttons on the UI call a JavaScript function which updates all
window frames according to the section selected:

<A HREF="javascript: top.selectMainMenu( 7 );" ...

Only links that go through this function are not shown in SSL mode. Any
other direct link (e.g. <A HREF="/.cobalt/sysManage/">) works fine.

I know this is pretty much a Microsoft Internet Explorer bug since the UI
works fine in IE 5.01, but I was just wondering if any of you have had the
same problem.
