Protocol Relative URLs Not Working Updated on July 18, 2023 by Brad Markle 0 Minutes, 45 Seconds to Read Problem: I am using Protocol Relative URLs / relative URLs when referencing css and javascript. 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: [blocked] 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. <head> <base href='http://www.domain.com/page.php' /> </head> 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.
