I'm faced with strange behaviour in IE8. There is an HTTPS web page which contains an IFrame pointing to non-secure page.

When I receive a security warning from IE, if I choose "Yes", I see "Navigation Cancelled" page in the IFrame part but if I choose "No", the IFrame will be shown correctly (reverse behaviour). When I disable the warning message, everything is fine!

What can I do when the security warning is enabled though?

You are surely talking of the following dialog box:

alt text

The wording for the mixed content dialog box has changed with IE7 and you usually would click "Yes" - like you did. But clicking "Yes" actually shows only the secure content (read the message) - the correct way to "Show all content" is to click "No".

If you want to disable the message box go to:

  1. Tools->Internet Options->Security
  2. Select ‘Security’ tab
  3. Click ‘Custom Level’ button
  4. In the ‘Miscellaneous’ section change “Display mixed content” to Enable
