Right.
But the 3rd object also has http://www.providesupport.com?messenger=ftshr
and there doesn't seem to be a problem there?
Is there a way around the http problem on a secure page (ssl/https)?
All of our pages come from templates that have these objects on them and
would like the pages to look the same on the secure pages.
Thanks,
Tom

The browsers, as should *good browsers* be expected to, report a warning if
there is a mixed-content.
The only alternative is to use relative paths to ensure that HTTP or
HTTPS... it's always the same for all items.

If these *objects* are hosted on the same server, using relative paths
should be trivial.
