Non-secure Items Warning

[Steven300]

I'm getting the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items" message on my site. I've identified what's causing it, but I'm not sure how to get around the problem.

I have a sidebox on the right called "Why Choose Us" which contains some images. These images are absolute linked to a subfolder in the main images directory, using a http. On the left side, I have the Newsletter Subscribe mod (which uses SSL on its pages). If you click on the subscribe button (can leave the email address blank), it throws the nonsecure warning.

I'm not sure what to do. The images in question need to somehow be configured to work on both SSL pages and normal pages.
I tried changing the links to the images to https but I then got some warnings when looking at non SSL pages. I'm not sure whether a relative link would solve this?

It's not a problem at checkout because I disable the right side column during this process. It's just the Newsletter mod which is causing the problem.

Can anyone help?

As I understand it, making those image links relative should solve the problem.

How come the newsletter sign-up page told me (in a big red box) to 'try again' the first time i went there?

The idea is that you enter your email address and *then* click subscribe. I thought it best to suggest leaving it blank because I didn't want anyone from here thinking that they had to enter their address, or even worse someone elses, in order to test the problem.

How would I make them relative? I searched on the forum but I didn't find any information.

The images are being called from includes\languages\english\html_includes\custom\define_editable_sidebox_content. php

The images are located in images\WhyChoose

I tried using..
<img src="../../../../../images/WhyChoose/etc"> but it didn't work very well. The images displayed ok and no warning was thrown, but the images then didn't display at all on the SSL page.

How can I solve this?

Ok, I tried getting rid of all the "../" and instead just used <img src="images/WhyChoose/etc">

Seems to work now.
