Disabling the Mixed Content Message

Written on October 3, 2005  |  by RP Mickler  |  Leave a Comment Leave a Comment  |  Bookmark and Share

Internet Explorer displays some awefully annoying messages at times that are just click-throughs for the user. Here’s one that’s quite common: the Display Mixed Content options.

When accessing a secure site (SSL layer, HTTPS) and insecure content is preparing to be downloaded – say, pictures for example, or Flash objects – then you’re prompted by default:

“Security Information This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items?”

I find this message really annoying; it appears even after I have added the target site into my trusted sites list. Here’s how to disable it:

In IE, go to Tools…Internet Options…Security tab, click the Internet Zone to select, click Custom button, scroll down to the Misc. section and set “Display mixed content” to Enable or Disable. You currently have it set as Prompt.
