&@$%^£& IE 7 and insecure content!

What a morning!

A user kindly reported that he couldn't log in to FilmAmora using IE7. IE6 worked, FireFox worked. Safari worked.

IE7 (for me) was coming up first with the 'there is insecure content on this page do you wish to show it?' (the login in page is under https). Clicking yes or no had the same result: the page would flash but then IE7 reported that it couldn't show the page. (It should have, it turns out, said 'I am choosing not to show the page').

The issue was that insecure content. For me, specifically it was the statcounter call. But your issue may be other calls. Anyway, I removed all calls to anything outside of my domain and that seems to have fixed it!
