Roadblock. Any help greatly appreciated! Javascript widget not executing. Returns white page. It's a standard autogenerated script.

I generated the javascript widget from wind guru that works like a charm on temporary bluehost domain:


However, exact same file called from main domain name presents white page only:


Contacted hoster "Bluehost", no help. They refer to directory path issue. No success with google. Tried to manually add directory root, no luck:

<script src=" type="text/javascript"> directory_root = " </script>

Here is the complete script:

<script src=" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
WgWidget({
s: 77995, odh:0, doh:24, wj:'knots', tj:'c', waj:'m', fhours:72, lng:'en',
params: ['WINDSPD'],

Hi

You access your "main domain" using HTTPS but including the script using HTTP protocol. These day's browsers block that because security concerns :
FireFox Console said:
Blocked loading mixed active content “

For that reason the common practice is to not specify the protocol, that way the browser will use the same protocol as for the parent document :
Code:
[b]<script[/b] [maroon]src[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][i][green]"//widget.windguru.cz/js/wg_widget.php"[/green][/i] [maroon]type[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][i][green]"text/javascript"[/green][/i][b]></script>[/b]
