Hi,

Why the self certificate ask many times to be accepted or rejected when a
secure site is accessed? Do not know why, but the site seems to work
propperly.

Because, a big common mistake in designing your website (I found this
out too).

<img src="http://www.domain.com/images/somefile.gif";>

NOW!!!  That will make it go to an insecure site to pull the file, so what
you want to do:

<img src="/images/somefile.gif">  That way it will tack on the prefix of
your URL.

be it: http://www.domain.com
or : https://www.domain.com

If that is not the case with an image tag, open the page up in notepad and
do a search for "http".  The ONLY thing that you should want it is in links.
They are fine.  But anything that "pulls" (images, music, movies, etc) from
your site will cause that problem!

Thanks,

Brian
