Avoding the secure/unsecure warning

[Leap3G]

Hello All,

I am using the Google Maps API on a secure web page which results in
the browser throwing up a warning regarding the page containing secure
and insecure items (the precise warning depends on the browser).

What can I do to avoid this warning. I had thought that a simple
solution would be to load the maps API script in document onload (I am
using jQuery)


var head = $('head')[0];
var newScript = document.createElement('script');
newScript.type = 'text/javascript';
newScript.src = 'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false';
head.appendChild(newScript);

but this appears to result in an undefined object error when I later
try to use the maps API.

I'd much appreciate any help with this. I should say that the option
of using the Premium version of this API is probably not an affordable
one :-(

You're in luck: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#HTTPS

We had the same issue with a Search provider of ours when their tool is displayed on the secure pages of our website. Once they provided us with an https link, the problem went away.
