Javascript & SSL

[Guest_imported]

Hi
Wondering if anyone can help! I am running a javascript shopping cart and want to make the checkout page secure. However on the checkout page I need to call the javascript so as to show the order the customer has made. This works fine without using SSL but when running the page through a SSL the code calling the script dosen't seem to work and the order info dosen't get drawn onto the page. As this is the page that is submitted to the shopkeeper as thr final order it is imperative that the order info is captured on this page.
Any answers? Hope this is written clearly!

Hi mate,

Where are you calling this js from?

Is it also on the secure server?

If not, when you got the warning about non-secure items on the page, did you choose not to display these?

Hope this helps Wullie

Hi Wullie, thanks for the reply
The Javascript lies in the root directory along with the pages. It isn't on the secure server. I don't get a message about non-secure items the page basically gets compiled without the order info when passing through the SSL whereas when running without passing through the SSL the order info is fine.
In case i'm not making this clear, I have 3 pages.
1) Product page with 'add to cart' button.
2) Cart page which compiles the order and allows you to remove items.
3) The checkout which has the order info again plus a form for name,address,card No etc.
It's page 3 that is linked from page 2 through the SSL but will not display the order info that is on page 2 even though the page 3 calls the script.

hope you can help!

Hi mate,

Can you post a url to this problem page?

The problem may be with your browser, have you tested this is another browser to rule this out?

Any items you call on the secure page should also be on the secure server. (Images, scripts etc)

Hope this helps Wullie

Having the script etc on the secure server I think is probably my way forward although I only have a URL which points pages to a SSL. I will need to get in touch with my server admin I think and gain access to the secure server or choose another way to implement the cart.
Thanks very much for your help! I may be back!

you will have problems if you have absolute path defined in an SSL page as some browser in certain settings will not download elements which are not themselves being encrypted.

<script src=&quot;

http://mysite.com/myJs.js&quot;></script>

will cause an error on a site with URL starting with https://

Instead use relative path :

<script src=&quot;/myJs.js&quot;></script>

Hope this is your problem and not something more complicated. Gary
