When I access my page over https / ssl, the css and js is being called over http / no ssl. It is resulting in the following [javascript error](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/error-numbers/diagnose-javascript-errors/): ** The page at** 'https://www.domain.com/page.php' **was loaded over HTTPS, but ran insecure content from '**https://www.domain.com/style.css**': this content should also be loaded over HTTPS.** | | --- | --- | | ## Solution: | If you are using the base tag within your header, the protocol being used in your base tag will be used when calling scripts using *Protocol Relative URLs* **/** *relative URLs*. **If you need to use the base tag in your head**, make sure to adjust it so that it uses https when using ssl, and http when not using ssl. |
